The Art Deco Palace on the Hill

Earlier today we wrote that the revitalization of the old Jersey City Medical Center was about to get a massive tax abatement. We've always been fairly intrigued by the building, partly because of its visibility from the Turnpike, and partly because of our love of Art Deco architecture. So today we thought we would try and find out a little more about the history of the building. The best we came up with was The Hospital That Made A City Sick, the story of Mayor Hague's political machine and how it launched the hospital.

We also came across two more articles about what to expect from the new project:

A New Lease on Life For JC Complex [NY Times]
Medical Center to Become Apartments
