The two remaining historic sections of Holy Cross Hospital, now the Salt Lake Regional Medical Center, are visible from South Temple. The historic chapel, located in the large center courtyard, was dedicated in 1904. It was designed by Carl M. Neuhausen, the architect of The Cathedral of the Madeleine and the Kearns Mansion. The interior of the chapel was decorated by Italian artist Achille Peretti in 1909. The paintings he created for the dome above the alter and the choir loft remain a focal point of the chapel today.

The east wing of the hospital, completed in 1916, was designed by Bernard O. Mecklenburg. This Gothic style building features crenelated gable parapets and square corner buttresses with pyramidal caps. Mecklenburg also worked on the matching west wing of the hospital which was demolished in 1988. Neuhausen designed a one-story west wing in 1903 and Mecklenburg converted it into three stories in 1920. The original central building which connected the east and west wings was completed in 1883. Designed by Henry Monheim, this building was demolished and the new hospital building constructed in 1960.

Holy Cross Hospital was founded under the auspices of the Catholic Church in 1875 by Sisters Holy Cross and Bartholomew. Only the second hospital established in Utah, it was originally located in a small house with just 13 beds. The Sisters worked with three doctors who offered their medical services for free.
