The building that was once home to Lubbock's first hospital, constructed in 1935, is no longer part of the Lubbock landscape.

The Godbold Building, which was home to St. Mary's Hospital before its merger to form Covenant Hospital, was located on 19th Street near Akron Avenue across from the Texas Tech campus and was constructed 10 years after the university had opened its doors.

The Godbold hosted many famous live musicians from Natalia Maines to Tommy Hancock. Achin said she remembered performances from Ray Wylie Hubbard, Terri Hendrix, Mike Pritchard’s Blue Thunder and the Lightning Horns and Andy Wilkinson.
