Dr. Spangler's Office

Dr. Edward Spangler came to Ouray upon returning from World War II. He took over the operation of the hospital for much of the next 18 years. Although his office was originally on the first floor, it looks now much like it did then. Dr. Robert Mardock was the last physician to perform surgery here. However, office and emergency services were performed after the operating room closed until the hospital doors finally swung shut for the last time in 1964.
