Tanner's Hospital, later known as Carpenter's Hospital, is a former hospital building in Ely, Minnesota, United States. It was built in 1901 as a moneymaking enterprise due to the high disease rate in the area. This was a consequence of low investment in sanitation infrastructure in the mining boomtowns of the Iron Range, where the long-term existence of any given community was unpredictable. ^[2] It was later converted into the "Lakeview" apartments that existed from the 1950s to the 1980s.^{[ citation needed ]} Tanner's Hospital was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 for its local significance in the themes of architecture, commerce, and health/medicine. ^[3] It was nominated as an emblem of this early period of entrepreneurial medicine before health and wellness were seen as public concerns. ^[2]
