My grandmother painted this image of the Packer Mansion. It was built in Sayre, PA by the industrialist Robert Asa Packer. After his death it was used as a hospital and later the building was razed for the construction of the current Robert Packer Hospital. She sold the painting in November 1067 to the Hospital Ladies Auxiliary. It is currently on display in the hospital cafeteria.
"I sold that Packer Mansion to the Hospital Lades Auxiliary for $100-. This was not snapped up by some doctor as I thought it might be – and it seems that now, there are no more old doctors around any more with sentiment about it." - Mary Wands Campbell
