  1. I'm confused. There was more than one hospital in Montrose? I only knew of the Hedgecroft Hospital & Clinic located at 5010 Montrose Blvd. What's the deal with this place? Does anyone have any family medical history from this hospital? From The 1947 American Hospital Association's American Hospital Directory: Montrose Hospital Clinic - 4410 Montrose Blvd. Established - 1946 Annie Mae Wait R.N., Supt. Zone 6 Tel Li-3911 A decade later it seemed to change ownership/management. From the publication called Hospitals dated 1954-06: Vol 28 Iss 6. Montrose Est. 1945 – 4410 Montrose Blvd- Zone 6, & Tel Li-3911 A.M. Grath R.N., Supt. 15 Beds, 35 Adms, 375 Cen 15 Exp: Pay $37, 116 Assetts: Plant, $27,494 Total $28,142 Pers: Pd.20
  2. I thought the Houston Negro Hospital was located at 3204 Ennis Street? Was this a new, or older, location? Very cool find! From a newspaper dated July 23, 1943: Harris County War Chest To prepare Negro nurses for local and war duty, a school of nursing opened this week at the Houston Negro Hospital, 2900 Elgin. The Harris County War Chest of the Houston Community Chest and Council recently gave the hospital a supplementary allotment of 6,122 for the operation for the school during the remainder of 1943. The Chest allotment to the hospital for the current year was $10,000. The school will be affiliated with Jefferson Davis Hospital and with the Houston College and with the Houston College for Negroes, and will follow the accelerated wartime plan outlined by the government. Josephine N. Post, educational director of Methodist Hospital, acted as consulted for the Houston Negro Hospital board of directors in working out plans for the establishment of the school, John R. Young, board president, said. Opening of the school will do much to relieve the acute need for nurses--
  3. Found this in the publication Diseases of the Nervous System Volume 1 dated 1940. A little weird. I thought the Keightley Hospital was in Almeda On Anderson Road? I'm thinking it this was a second, more smaller location? I know Vivian Keightley started the company in Almeda, TX. Also, wasn't 1319 Richmond the original location of the Kinkaid School? I see the advertisement mentions new building under construction. I wonder if this was when Kinkaid moved out and sold their land? Okay, looking on HAIF I see the Kinkaid school was built in the 1920s, and was removed from directories in the 1940s. Keightley Hospital 1319 Richmond, Houston, Texas Jackson 21539 (New bldg. under construction) Member, Texas State Hospital Assn. Registered with A.M.A. Facilities for care of Neuropsychiatric Disorders
  4. I was looking at the Standard Blue Book of Texas Houston Edition dated 1907-1908 and came across a few cool, old, hospitals. New Charity Hospital To be Erected by the Public Spirited Citizens of Houston Under the Direction of Mrs. E. N. Gray. I went reading about E. N. Gray. It looks like she was a Rice University? teacher and a person who managed a charity work program. A splendid record of charity work for the past twelve months has now closed, and the United Charities association now begins its labors for 1906. The meeting was held in the rooms of the President, Mrs. E. N. Gray in the Butler flats and there were present the following members of the board. Society departments phones: House. 2102. Office. 1621. Calendar For The Day. Dubutantes' cotillion Z Z Club at Beach's Hall. Miss Rosalie Dumble entertains with cards for Misses Connely, 2:30. Mrs. Fred Heyne and Mrs. D. S. Price entertain for Mrs. H. J. Gazin and Miss Florence Carter, 4 to 6. Pupils' Recital. Diehs Conservatory, 8 p.m. Mrs. E.N. Gray's Class in English Literature, Carnegie Hall, 3:45.
  5. wow!! This building and address! Would love to see a clearer photo. Any ideas on the architect? Found this hospital while reading the newspaper The Houston Post. dated February 27, 1911. Houston Homeopathic Hospital Phone Preston 3955 of Dr. Harlan Trask / 815 Main Street One of the best equipped hospitals in the South for the sick an afflicted, where patients receive the best personal treatment and attendance. Trained nurses and attendants are employed. The medical and surgical staff includes physicians of long and extensive experience in hospital and sanitarium work. The Houston Homeopathic Hospital continues a career of exampled success, the reason of which is, chiefly, that all its appliances are administrated upon the only scientific principals of medicine in existence , vis. The Homeopathic. The Homeopathy should not be registered to see of drugs-baths, message, electricity, are all subject to the same principals. Who knows about Homeopathic baths? The are the only successful form of baths--
  6. Found this cool hospital in the publication Texas State Journal of Medicine dated 1927 and thought I would share with HAIF. Would love to know if there is anyone out there that knows about this place? I do have a question. Who were apart of the staff? Owner, director, chief doctor, and on fourth. I assume Ellen Ray was the owner and chief operator? Ellen Ray Hospital and Maternity Home A quiet, secluded home for sick people, with sixteen beautiful, high-class rooms, including operation room. Strictly ethical. Something different. 6604 Avenue Q, Magnolia Park, Texas (Houston, Texas.) Telephone Wayside 2212-M.
  7. Found this old, cool, hospital this week. Thought I would share my findings. From the newspaper The Houston Informer dated November 1, 1919. The business card advertisement: Dr. F.F. Stone Medicine and Surgery Grand Medical Director K. of P. Associated with Dr. Chas. A. Jackson, Specialist Suite 7 and 8-4191/2 Milam Street Office Phone P. 6958 On Staff Union Hospital 1118 Howard St., Phone P. 782 Residence 1902 Dowling, Phone H. 2303 Calls may be left at People's Pharmacy 815 Prairie, Phone P. 6256 The news article: Union Hospital To Teach Nursing Class Begins Nov. 10 When the announcement was first made last year that Houston physicians had decided to establish a hospital in this city, there were “doubting Thomases” galore and “it-can't-be-done” apostles abound abundantly. These doctors were not deterred nor discouraged by sch idle talk and while others indulged in hot air and would-be knocks, they assiduously applied themselves to the task of giving their people a real hospital with modern methods, facilities, and conveniences. Already their efforts have seen fruition and today the Union Hospital is a permanent adjunct to the race's civil life in this community, and is truly justifies its existence. The hospital is located in Fourth Ward, 1118 Howard Street, corner of Lion and is easily accessible by the automobiles and street cars. A large, two-story structure is employed and the equipment is of a high class order. The following constitute the official roster and staff: Dr. Charles A. Jackson. President; Dr. E.F. Ferrill, vice-president; Dr. H.E. Lee, secretary; Dr. B.J. Covington, treasurer, ; Dr. F.F. Stone, superintendent; Dr. R.O. Roett, resident physician; Miss B.B. Shortt, registered nurse; Drs. J.R. Terrell, E.B. Ramsy, F.L. McDavid-- Telephone Preston 732.
  8. Over the weekend I discovered a new Alfred C. Finn building! The building is The Houston Clinic that was built in the mid 1920s. Looks like The Houston Clinic was established somewhere prior to the Main and Pease location. From the newspaper The Houston Post. dated February 1, 1925. Houston Clinic To Have Model Home A structure which will represent the very latest and most modern features of the medical building construction, to be he home of the Houston Clinic, now is under construction at Main street and Pease avenue and is expected to be completed about August 15. It is the attractive Georgian style of architecture, and will place Houston in the front rank of Texas in another field of construction. The first floor will house the X-ray department and industrial clinic operating rooms. From the entrance hall, a stairway and elevator will lead to the comfortable and neatly furnished reception parlor on the second floor where the office of the business manager and general offices will be at the service of all visitors. Doctor's suites, consisting of a private office and three examination rooms each, will occupy one-half of the second and all of the third and fourth floors. A well studied system of inter-communication will facilities the business and give their visitors and callers very comfortable service and personal attention at all times. The nurses and attendants of the building will enjoy their rest rooms and neatly equipped service rooms. A full basement under all of the building, covering an area of 50 feet by 75 feet, will house the complete mechanical equipment of the steam heating plant, ice water, hot water, compressed air and refrigeration systems. A large supply store room and work shop opens into the stairs and elevator hall that leads to the fourth floors above. The foundation of the the building is being built to carry two additional stories, which will accommodate about 15 more doctors in the very near future. The firs unit of four stores and basement, with the mechanical equipment, will cost $150,000. The plans were drawn by the office of Alred C. Finn, architects, and the construction is under his supervision. The Southwestern Construction Company was awarded the general contract, A.T. Vick Company, the electrical contract; The Dixie Heating and Ventilating company, the heating contract and Lee Roberson the plumbing contract. Ground has been broken and the work is actively in progress.
  9. I was searching Ebay for historical Houston items and came across an usual hospital in Houston. The item is a deck of cards that has a children's hospital name affixed. What in the world is this? Never heard of this hospital! I searched Google Maps a little and came across a street in Kingwood called Maple Lake. Was this a small hospital for the Maple Lake residential subdivision in Kingwood? Can we date this? The phone number (?) appears to be a 000-000 format. Maple Lake Children's Hospital * Houston, Texas 288-101
  10. I was browsing the newspaper The Houston Post. dated June 10, 1909 and came across something that sparked my interests. I've never heard of this home/hospital before. There was another girls home that was located in Bellaire/Gulfton. I wonder if the two girls homes knew abut each other? Private Christian Rescue Home For Unfortunate Girls Infants Adopted - Terms Moderate Apply 120 West 14th St. Houston Heights Phone Taylor 359
  11. wow!! This week I discovered a whole new, rare, medical building! Amazing find.. But I can't help wonder where it was located. Any help with an address or information regarding this hospital/medical clinic? Cool piece of history here!! I wonder the date? I couldn't find anything in the historical libraries that I visit. Maybe if someone had the first name of the brothers we could find more. Beal Bros. Medical And Surgical Clinic - Houston, Texas A modern air conditioned diagnostic and treatment clinic, serving the Negro population of the Southwest. The institution has twenty-two rooms and is valued in excess of $100,000.
  12. I was browsing the newspaper The Bellaire Texan dated February 22, 1956 and came across an article that discussed this hospital. The Almeda Medical and Surgical Clinic located on South Post Oak Road. Very cool!! I've never even heard of this. South Post Oak and Almeda? Where exactly was this located? The owner/doctor of Almeda Medical and Surgical Clinic was Dr. Schiflett. Police Investigating “The baby's accident kept my husband from going to the bank with the money,” explained Mrs. Schiflett, “hence we had so much money in the house.” Dr. Schiflett operates the Almeda Medical and Surgical Clinic on South Post Oak Extension. Mrs. Schiflett said someone evidently had a key that fits the front door. Bellaire Police are investigating. Chief Jack O'Brien reported no forced signs of entry or fingerprints.
  13. Building is getting some new air conditioners and a paint job.
  14. I was looking into the works of Kenneth Franzheim and discovered a rendering for San Jacinto Memorial Hospital located in Baytown. Looks like the hospital was built in 1947 by W.S. Bellows. Was the hospital purchased by Houston Methodist and eventually demolished? I'm not that familiar with Baytown.
  15. Does anyone remember the name of the old hospital that used to sit close to the corner of Red Bluff and Pasadena Blvd.? People in Pasadena used to refer to it as the "horse hospital." Also, a Dr. Burkhalter used to practice there.
  16. Does anyone remember Dr Powers jumping off the bridge after killing his wife?
  17. This afternoon I was researching the hospitals in Pasadena, Texas and came across a historic website that featured Pasadena. http://www.earlytexashistory.com/Pasadena/histime.html The website lists the year 1937 as the following: - Presbyterian church organized. - Feb 14, Champion Paper mill opens. - Jackson Jr. High built. - First hospital, Pasadena Clinic & Hospital opens (Dr. E. E. Conners). - First movie house (Rita/Pasadena Theater, now Norman Furniture). - Methodist build new brick sanctuary ($12,000 with 400 members). Does anyone know where I can get more information on Pasadena's first hospital? I tried searching the libraries, and Google, with no luck. I'm guessing the hospital name is incorrect, which is why I cannot locate any information. I did find a few articles containing the person E.E. Conners (without being a professional Doctor). E.E. Conners was apart of USMC it appears. Thanks HAIF!
  18. I was reading the newspaper The Baytown Sun dated August 26, 1990 and came across a business advertisement for Pasadena General Hospital located at 1004 Seymour Street. The hospital was located off of Pasadena Blvd. which used to be named Tatar. A Second Look... Cosmetic Surgery Services of Pasadena General Hospital-- Call us if you are considering comestic surgery, give us a call at 473-9028. Because you're worth A Second Look. Pasadena General Hospital 1004 Seymour, Pasadena, TX 77506 South Belt Leader dated July 14, 1983: Pasadena General adding new nursing tower, ICU Work has begun on a new three-story nursing tower and intensive care unit of Pasadena General Hospital. In addition to the 35,000-square feet of new construction, there will be 24,000-square feet of remodeling work. The $8.2 million industrial revenue bonds were underwritten by E.F. Hutton Company. Steve Claiborn, first vice president, handled the transaction for Hutton. The issuing agency was the Pasadena Health Facilities Development Corporation. The bonds are guaranteed by Huntington Health Services, Inc. (owners of Pasadena General Hospital) and by a letter of credit from Bank of Southwest, National Association, Houston. Jason Frye and Associations, Inc. the architect, has unique “contemporary” exterior that focuses on a large three-story arch. W.J. Mechura, Jr., hospital administrator, says construction is part of plan envisioned by their owners to offer more efficient, up-to-date nursing care. The new building is due to be completed in May 1984.
  19. Was this hospital also known as Southmore Hospital (or Southmore General) in 1970? That's where I was born - I was looking at my birth certificate, and the attendant's signature (there was no printing, type or hand, displayed) - a person named M. A. Richardson. It seems like it has been closed for a while (due to hauntings - from what I have heard from family members) and bought, sold and renamed a few times ... My gosh, reading all of the previous comments, how scandalous ... very wild, knowing that's where I was born, oh my goodness
  20. I was reading the newspaper South Belt Leader dated December 3, 1980 and came across an employment wanted advertisement for Pasadena Bayshore Hospital located at 4000 Spencer Hwy. Specials for Special Nurses Pasadena Bayshore Hospital is looking for a select group of full-time and part-time RN's and LVN's to join our progressive health care facility. We recognize that nurses are special people and we offer you the opportunity to develop your skills and grow with us.

  21. I'm trying to find information about an old hospital on Houston's west side. Is there any information about it? Looks like it was located near Bellaire and Wilcrest. After researching more, the hospital was originally called Alief General Hospital? The Alief General Hospital had an address of 11101 Bellaire Blvd. which is at the corner of Bellaire and Wilcrest. Here's an advertisement inquiring employment wanted found in the newspaper The Bellaire & Southwestern Texan dated October 6, 1976. An image of the hospital that I cropped from a photograph of a FINA Gas Station located at 11024 Bellaire Blvd.
  22. Found an awesome magazine called Modern Hospital, released 1952-11: Vol 79 Iss 5. You can read the publication on archive.org. Great website for historical items! As with any library, you can "check out" any book/magazine and "return it" an hour later. The magazine shows an in-depth look at the Texas Medical Center portfolio (in the ~1950s) including floor plans of old hospitals! I might create new threads with the information I found, but I wanted to focus on the Jefferson Davis Hospital In The Texas Medical Center. A proposal in 1950 included a Jefferson Davis Hospital to the west of Baylor College of Medicine's Cullen Building. Looks like this would be located near the present-day DeBakey Library and Museum located at 6450 East Cullen Street. Actually, it looks to be the whole area west, so all the space before Memorial Hermann's Robertson Pavilion. Proposed New Jefferson Davis Hospital Architects: Alfred C. Finn, Maddox & Johnson, Houston. Prime consideration in planning Jefferson Davis Hospital was given to the operation of the hospital in order to conserve personnel, time in providing patient care, and to reduce to a minimum the possibility of cross infection. The entire project has been so planned that all phases of the plant can be expanded without undue inconvenience to operation. Simplicity of design and economy of constriction are also important in planning for a minimum of maintenance. The nursing unit is the major theme in setting the pattern of the structure. Four nursing units are arranged on a floor in the “double pavilion” plan. Each wing contains two regular wards of five units providing beds for 31 acutely ill patients. Between the two wards is a central core that provides space for utilities, baths, treatment and examination rooms and other facilities in common. Number 8:
  23. I have a death certificate from 1957 showing that a cousin was institutionalized for 10 years at 1200 southmore blvd. Does this make sense?
