Commemorating America's First Neurosurgeon

Commemorating America's First Neurosurgeon
In 1969, a plaque was placed on the May Company Building in downtown Cleveland to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the birth of Dr. Harvey Cushing in Cleveland in 1869. The plaque was placed (perhaps unintentionally) at the approximate location of the razed Cushing Block, rather than on the still-standing Cushing Building, the site where Harvey Cushing was actually born. Seen in the above photo taken at the ceremony are relatives of Dr. Cushing and (second from the left) Ohio Governor James Rhodes. | Source: Cleveland Public Library, Digital Photograph Collection
