The story
About 1938, Diessner’s Drug Store filled the ground floor. Upstairs, in rooms beside his office over the drug store, Dr. Harold Nagel ran a 10-bed hospital.
Nagel’s hospital grew. A community association took over the 27-bed Nagel Hospital in 1954, and Waconia Ridgeview Hospital opened on 27 July 1963. It is now Ridgeview Medical Center.
