I'm pretty sure this is where the old hospital was located.

Rachel, the only hospital I can find is at the current location on West Wayne St at Rt 500 west of Paulding. It has been there since the 1960s. It is across town from this flight path. Was there an older hospital?

Yes there was an older hospital. My dad was born there in the 50s. After the new hospital opened the one at this location became a nursing home. I'm not sure if it's still standing in this picture...(I don't remember exactly where it was and it's hard to see through the trees) There was also a brick building at this site that was the county home.

You're right. I found the Paulding County Home listed on older maps at this location. Here is a link to a better photo:
