Fringe Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 (edited) Anyone know where the Southern Pacific Hospital mentioned in article was located? Edit: Never mind I did a little research and apparently it was also called the Sunset Hospital and is now the Thomas Street Health Center on Thomas St. just North of downtown. It was the first I had heard of a Southern Pacific Hospital in Houston. Edited October 20, 2009 by LunaticFringe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reefmonkey Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 For reference, it is that large Italianate red-tile-roofed building that looks almost like it's on a hill, on your right as you're heading north on I-45 or west on I-10 coming from downtown. I've attached both a nice picture of the front of the building, and a picture of what the building looks like as seen from I-45. It is currently owed by Harris Health System, which says: Quote Harris Health System's Thomas Street Health Center is a freestanding HIV/AIDS clinic, which provides medical care and psychological and social services to those who have been diagnosed with HIV/AIDS. Physicians from Baylor College of Medicine and UTHealth provide primary and specialty care services, including: oncology, endocrinology, pain management, dermatology, rheumatology, women's health, adolescent health, ENT, neurology, and treatment and management of hepatitis C. Thomas Street also has on-site case management, pharmacy, physical therapy, psychiatry and counseling services. Thomas Street Health Center offers an extensive HIV health education curriculum and a variety of HIV/AIDS research initiatives. Renowned for its innovative and advanced clinical care, Thomas Street Health Center continues to significantly improve the lives and health of those living with HIV/AIDS. Anyone know the full history of this building? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reefmonkey Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 All I've found so far is that it was once a former hospital for Southern Pacific Railroad employees. PS: I tried editing my OP to add that info, but this forum is acting wonky in both Chrome and Edge. Initially when I wrote the OP, Chrome wouldn't let me do anything other than post a poll, and now it won't let me edit. It also initially gave me trouble replying to the thread. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reefmonkey Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Okay, by googling about a hospital for Southern Pacific employees in Houston, I found this, which indicates it was under construction in 1910: http://www.houstontimeportal.net/southern-pacific-hospital.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
