rsb320 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 LBJ Hospital Replaced JDH. As I recall, it was mostly used as a maternity hospital for the uninsured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is stop 13. http://www.artcrawlhouston.com/The units are leased to artsy sorts at affordable rates. There has been some controversy because some not very art-oriented people have been able to get into some units.

jgriff Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Heh... That describes a buddy of mine.Not surprising. "Leasing to artist at affordable rates." is usually a euphemism for "If you have the right connections you can get a good deal on an apartment." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T 2 THA C Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Yeah, the Google maps are pretty cool. We've come a long way since Terraserver. This page shows the address for the original Jefferson Davis Hospital: 1101 Elder Street.I believe the other Jefferson Davis Hospital was at the location where the new Federal Reserve building is on Allen Parkway. I stood nearby and watched the second Jefferson Davis Hospital be imploded. Amazingly, I took no photographs. That was pretty stupid, even for me.I was born here in the 80's and came across this on the internet http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNXDF2hOR3Q Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NenaE Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 (edited) I doubt that you were born at that hospital unless you are in your late 70's to 80'sYou were probably born at the other Jefferson Davis hospital that use to be on Allen Parkway. It was built on top of an old cemetary as well. As for the rest of your story? Well it is possible. What cemetery would that be? I've never heard that story.Just that Allen Parkway Village, previously San Felipe Courts (public housing project) located near the hospital, was the site of recent excavations from an old city cemetery.

Riomar Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I know the original was posted a while back, but I am just coming across this site and post. I was doing some net searches about the old hospital. I have some pics i took back in march. ATM I can only find these two. I have more that I took a few days later when I came back w/ my good camera and my husband. The two I have to share now are from my G2. If it is wanted I can look around for the others as those are better. Plus my husband is not as much of a chicken and will actually get out of the car. They are only of the old boiler house ( I was told that was the old crematorium)and the old nurses house (?). I didn't really bother the complex proper. The ones I am posting are only of the boiler house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highway6 Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I last visited about a yr ago, but I remember thinking the boiler house would make for a unique residential renovation project. It seemed to be in fairly good shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Witnessed the little houses across the street slowly vacate. Very sad. The bldg. I speak of, was seen in a Sanborn map listed as some city records type of bldg. Can't recall exactly what it said. Will look it up, again. Edited October 20, 2011 by NenaE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riomar Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Ty for the old map. I love old maps anyway. Something has got really interested in this building lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NenaE Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Elder St. & Dart St. (Very sloping land) Houses across the street..notice the roses blooming. Sad picture... history being lost. This photo was taken a while back. Doubt the houses are still there. The b/w Sanborn Insurance Maps in the previous posts are provided by the Houston Public Library archives - online. Anyone can look the Houston areas up, online, all you need is a current library card no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riomar Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 That is neat. I did not know you could look that up on their website. Then again I have never been to their website. I do have a library card. I don't go that often though. The ones closest to me are tiny and don't have much. Plus I believe they close kinda early. I prefer to go to the main branch downtown.
