Shriners Hospital for Children in Texas Medical Center is closing and parents are shocked https://www.khou.com/article/news/local/shriners-hospital-for-children-in-texas-medical-center-is-closing-and-parents-are-shocked/285-275e9430-e2e7-4939-aac0-5627a7566fac HOUSTON — A big change is coming to the Texas Medical Center, the Shriners Hospital for Children will be closing that location and consolidating with the Galveston branch in 2021. Mel Bower, Director of Marketing for Shriners, confirms the Houston Shriners hospital will consolidate with the Shriner’s hospital in Galveston. Bowers says they are consolidating to make services more efficient for patients, who he says shuttle back and forth between the hospitals. Bowers says one reason the Galveston location was chosen is, “The presence of the burns center in Galveston was an important consideration.” Shriners says they hope to bring as many of their current team as possible and that all services offered in the Med Center location will be offered in Galveston. "We will continue to offer all of our existing services, the benefit is that now they will all exist under one roof,” Bowers said. As for what will become of the building that one the Houston Shriners moves out, Bowers says they just don’t know yet.- 28 replies

I watched demolition of the previous The Center for Hearing a Speech building located at At 3630 West Dallas Street. Wish I knew then, what I know now. I would have taken better demotion photographs, capturing the business name, address, etc. Photos I took in 2021: Address upper right, 3630, and building letter signage with "center" on the left in the pile of ruble.

In 1957, the Houston-Harris County T.B. Association constructed a building located at 2901 West Dallas Street. The architect who designed the building was Henry A. Stubee. Tuberculosis must have been a major illness back in the day. It still is, but now we have modern medicine to (better) treat it. Rendering (drawing) from Henry A. Stubee: Photograph of the building. Building signage.

This aerial photograph (depiction?) is kind of rare! Maybe it's the name that keeps it under the surface? DePelchin Faith Home partnered with Anna Dupree to buy and build a large campus in Fifth Ward to establish the Anna Dupree Cottage of The Negro Child Center of Houston. This would have been in the 1940s. 1947 I think? Building dedication with Anna Dupree and her husband beside her. Edit: Ben Taub on the right! The cottage style campus as seen in the 1940s:

During the 1950s, mental health treatment and science really started gaining traction in Houston. One of the initial companies researching was The Mental Health Association of Houston and Harris County. Located in a 2-story house in Montrose at 916 Branard Street. This hospital isn't not very well known so I'm glad I am sharing with HAIF. Very cool history here. Edit: This was lead by Mrs. Viola Perkins, Executive Director.

I never knew the Jefferson Davis Hospital also had a nurses building! This is totally cool. It seems that most of the hospital systems in Houston had a nurses building.. As well as a College of Nursing. The nurses building was built in 1924 and was located at 1801 Buffalo Drive, now 1801 Allen Parkway. Alfred C. Finn and Joseph Finger designed the main hospital. I would assume they designed this building as well. Both of the buildings feature the same square on the front facade.

From 1923. I wonder where the old, or previous, hospital was located? Edit: Looks like the hospital in 1919 was located at 1114 Howard Street. New Union Hospital 1618 Andrews Street Houston, Texas

I noticed an article from 100 years ago that said the Methodist Hospital was moving to a (new) home, which was the former Dr. Oscar L. Norsworthy Hospital in Midtown. That would mean there was a previous building. Maybe, and more of a church funded operation, the Methodist Hospital started out in this single story residential home? Anyone know anything about this?

Finally found the original TIRR building! The TIRR hospital system was founded in 1957 by Lamar Fleming, Jr., William Spencer, and Leon Jaworski. The hospital assumed the functions of the Southwestern Poliomyelitis Respiratory Center at the Jefferson Davis Hospital. William A. Spencer, MD was the Medical Director of the SPRC. The original address was 1801 Buffalo Drive, but since has changed to 1801 Allen Parkway. Here's a photo of the JDH annex building built some 30-years after the original hospital was built. Outside the hospital, patients in an Iron Lung type of device. The interior of the hospital showing all the mechanical medical devices used.

This week I discovered, what looks to be a Maurice Sullivan sketch of a proposed Houston Tuberculosis Hospital in the Texas Medical Center. This was in the year 1948 or 1949. Isn't that the Baylor College of Medicine Cullen building? I also see a small building in front of the larger building. Would the smaller building the proposed TB hospital? Or maybe that isn't the BCM Cullen Building. Very cool find.

This week I learned about the ever-evolving Baptist Sanitarium in downtown Houston. It appears (as I'm newly educated about this) as the hospital system owned a whole city block on Lamar Street and built 5 or 6 buildings on the block. Oddly enough, it appears the only address for all the buildings was 602 Lamar Street. I wonder if they platted the entire block as a singular address? If that's legal of course. The 2nd building (Expansion No. 1) of the hospital system was designed by Rezin D. Steele in 1911 with a total amount (campus) beds at 50 beds. The original sanitarium that Dennis Pevoto bought from Ida Rudisill had a 15-person bed capacity, so the expansion to 50 beds was quite significant. Kind of off topic, but this building always looks like it's leaning. I wonder by foundation or design.

The 3rd building of the Houston Baptist Sanitarium extended the bed capacity to 150 beds and was built in 1914. This is the last expansion before the "skyscrapers" were built. The 7/8 story tower on the right: The tower in the background:

Designed by Alfred C. Finn in 1945, the Naval Hospital was located on a 118-acre site donated by the George H. Hermann Estate. In 1946, the hospital transferred into the United States Veterans Administration Hospital. Edit: This would have been at Marlborough Drive and Almeda Road. Marlborough Drive was renamed to Holcombe Boulevard a decade later. The Naval hospital sits exactly where the current Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center is located. The address to the current VA hospital is 2002 Holcombe Blvd if you want to use it as a reference, or mapping point. I researched, for weeks, the address on Marlborough Drive. I could never find it. Should we just use the current VA hospital address? 2002 Marlborough Drive? If I recall correctly, there was a Baylor College of Medicine team working at the Naval hospital as well. Maybe even MD Anderson and Hermann Hospital as well? Found a rare photo of the Naval Hospital building signage. You don't see this everyday.
