Historic Surgical Amphitheater
The Surgical Amphitheater, which was the first of its kind
in the Philadelphia area, was in use as an operating room
from 1804 to 1868. Seating around the room provided a place
for Medical Students to observe and learn, as well as a place
for paying spectators to be entertained. (Image #565.1)
