  • The hospital complex was designed by noted architect John McArthur, Jr., who also designed the Philadelphia City Hall. It was named in honor of Thomas Mower, an early Army surgeon.

The hospital featured many amenities for the patients and staff, including plumbing to provide hot water, special medical wards that could be isolated for patients with infections, centralized storage for supplies, flush toilets, band music, etc. The wounded were brought directly from Southern battlefields by railroad—a journey known as going from the seven circles of hell to heaven. Wyndmoor Station, Market Square Shopping Center, apartment buildings and townhouses now occupy the site.
