PLEASE HELP, MORE PHOTOS ARE NEEDED. ANY GOOD PHOTOS OF THE NEW ADDITION OUT THERE? |

| The Lago Hospital is the large structure at the top of the photo, left. The hospital was open to all employees, foreign staff and local hire as well as their dependents. The three water tanks in the photo are the fresh water supply for the Colony. This was water brought in by Esso Oil Tankers that were specially fitted with cement lined tanks to transport the water from New Jersey as there were no fresh water well and desalination was considered to expensive. These special ships that supplied Lago Refinery with its food and water make the run to and from New Jersey on a regular schedule. Link to story about (LAGO SUPPLY SHIPS). | ||

| The photo below was in Les Seekins' scrapbook, the scrapbook was dated 1938 to 1940 and this photo must have been taken soon after the hospital building was completed after it was moved from about the location of the Esso Dinning Hall to make room for the refinery. | ||
 |
||
| I remember the beds on each side of the walkway to the front door being planted, because there is no planting I am sure this photos was taken soon after the building was completed. If you compare this photo to the one at the beginning of this page you will see railings around the planters were added in the other photo. | ||
