I've seen a lot of photos/postcards of the old Wesley Hospital, but I never knew there was a big sign on the roof, did you?

Thanks! It's always fun to stumble across an old OKC photo and share it with others.

Nope, no nuns (I read the discussion at Flickr). It was a Methodist hospital named after John & George Wesley, the founders of Methodism.
Interesting early history of Wesley Hospital is below. I was born at Wesley and my mom gave me the wristband that I wore as a newborn. It has "Wesley Hospital" on the band and just says, "Baby Boy." I still have it! (Great photo of the sign, btw)
