Highrise Tower Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 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.
