Bricks & Mortals: The Centennial Exhibit
A Photographic Retrospective of Doylestown Hospital
To commemorate the hospital’s centennial, over 70 compelling photographs by Ed Eckstein in this retrospective exhibit recall timeless moments of comfort, healing, vulnerability, and dignity capturing the enduring heart and spirit of the Doylestown Health community.
Doylestown Health celebrated the opening weekend of Bricks and Mortals: The Centennial Exhibit on February 3 & 4 in the Doylestown Hospital ArtWalk with photographer Ed Eckstein. This inaugural Centennial year event reimagined the original commission by Doylestown Hospital and the Michener Museum that commemorated the 75th Anniversary of the hospital in 1998. More than 40 never-before-seen images were curated together with the original works to display a truly timeless look at patient care and the caregivers.
During the previews, friends and colleagues reconnected, some of whom were involved in the original exhibit, and shared fond memories. Ed Eckstein captivated guests with stories about the people of Doylestown Hospital featured in the photos, and his personal experiences while staying round-the-clock in the hospital.
The exhibit ran through February 26.
“The exhibit is beautiful. It is heartfelt and absolutely inspiring.”
