While returning from lunch I stopped at the Memorial Hermann Medical Group located at 3203 East Broadway Street in Pearland. I wonder why the business name Memorial Hermann Medical Group? I'd assume there is a joint venture, that includes MH. Photos I took today: -
In 1952, the Memorial Hospital System built their Professional Building. The building is striking with a colorful facade and a new "modern" design style. My favorite building by the old business! The physical building model with the architect/owners. The building under construction in 1953. Building completed. In this photo you can see the colorful parking garage and yellow/green facade.

It looks like most hospital systems in Houston had separate nurses building. The Memorial Health System was no different. Their nurses building was designed by "star architect" Kenneth Franzheim and was named after Roy And Lillie Cullen. Ironically, Hermann Hospital also has a Cullen Nurses Building. I'm glad the Cullen family donated to both healthcare systems. Here's a rendering from Kenneth Franzheim. I can't find any actual photographs at the moment. I'll keep looking!

The "star architect" Kenneth Franzheim designed the new Memorial Hospital addition. I don't have an exact date and time frame, but it was probably in the 1930s or 1940s. Rendering: Photograph: Entrance detail rendering: Entrance detail photograph:

By Christmas Eve 1937, the old business name of Houston Baptist Sanitarium was changed to Memorial Hospital. This might have been the first "official" Memorial Hospital? Note that in the background, you can see the old tower(s) with even a sky bridge connecting them.

Built in the early 1920s, the skyscraper- or superstructure, was the first modern building that the Houston Baptist Sanitarium built. The building/school had a few different names. - Women and Children's Addition to Baptist Hospital - Baptist Sanitarium and Hospital Training School - Baptist Hospital and School of Nursing A photograph from the early 1920s showed a group of nurses. This would go with the building named after a nursing school.

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:

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.

MD Anderson has office space in the GreenPark One Medical Office Building located at 7515 Main Street. I thought recently there was a change of ownership in the GreenPark buildings? I remember a few months ago there was building signage being removed. I stopped by today to snap a quick photo. It's actually not a bad looking MOB. Has that "tower" look. Gensler designed this?

Another Memorial Hermann hospital that isn't well known (in the architecture world) is the Jones Pavilion named after Jesse H. Jones. Kind of a brutalist design, not much to it. It does feel imposing, it's a large building. Here is a photo I took yesterday. It's the tower.

I actually did not know the original 1925 Hermann Hospital is still standing. The building is covered up, or hidden, by the Heart & Vascular Institute. Last week, I tried to take a photo of the building but I couldn't see it at the time. Original, from the 1920s: 2024, satellite view:

Found this rendering of the Memorial Hermann Southwest Hospital Campus. I don't think it was built as proposed. The tower definitely did not get built. June 16, 1971. An $80 million medical complex will be constructed at Beechnut and the Southwest Freeway it was announced Friday, by a spokesman for Memorial Baptist Hospital System.

I was looking at the Standard Blue Book of Texas Houston Edition dated 1907-1908 and came across a few cool, old, hospitals. The book indicates an address of 602 Lamar Avenue. I went onto researching more and found an article in the newspaper The Houston Post dated November 27, 1903 that had an address of 810 Walker Avenue. I am not sure which one is accurate. Or perhaps there were was an earlier version of the sanitarium? For this thread, I will choose the Walker address since it's more concrete. Although, the other article has a photograph of the building, so that must be accurate too! Convenience and hope comforts. Trained nurses in attendance. Rates 2.00 to 5.00 per day. S.W. Telephone 1374. Ida J. Rudisill Sanitarium. Mrs. Ida J. Rudisill, Proprietous. 810 Walker Avenue Houston, Tex. I then found an article that states George Hermann and this person named "D.R." was interested in buying the hospital. A little confusing, to me, but this was one of the first Hermann Hospitals? I know that Hermann Hospital started out as a Baptist hospital in a downtown tower. So maybe this predates the big downtown hospital? wow!! From the book The Texas Gulf Historical and Biographical Record, Volume 45, November 2009: D.R. Approached Houston oilman and philanthropist George H. Hermann, who was interested in a hospital but not one controlled by Baptists. Timely assistance from a woman at First Baptist finally enabled Houston Baptists to move forward. For $18,000 D.R. Secured the Rudisill Sanitarium, an eighteen-bed facility in downtown Houston, from Mrs. Ida J. Rudisill. Rechristened the Baptist Sanitarium and Hospital, it was chartered in September 1907, the first such Baptist institute in Texas. D.R. Was named superintendent, but Mrs. Rudisill “was in reality the manager or the four years she remained with the institute,” giving the Baptists time to learn what they were doing.

This is the Hermann Hospital Cullen Nurses Home located at 6411 Fannin Street. I was browsing the Houston Public Library Digital Archives and noticed a Hermann Hospital building that I was unfamiliar with. Thought I would share. November 1941.

I was browsing the newspaper The Bellaire Texan dated December 3, 1986 and came across an article about a proposed replacement for the aging Memorial Hermann Robertson Pavilion. A replacement for RP has been known for nearly 20 years. I wonder the hold up? I'm guessing the MH board of directors/foundation does not want to demolish the historic building. Bernard Johnson, Inc. was the architect who designed the hospital. Very cool find! I love old TMC proposals.
