Boston City Hospital
The Boston City Hospital (1864–1996) in Boston, Massachusetts, was a public hospital, located in Boston's South End. It was "intended for the use and comfort of poor patients, to whom medical care will be provided at the expense of the city, and ... to provide accommodations and medical treatment to others, who do not wish to be regarded as dependent on public charity."〔Boston Directory. 1864〕 In 1996 it merged with the Boston University Medical Center Hospital to form the Boston Medical Center.〔"Boston City Hospital can finally stand on its own." ''Boston Herald'', Feb 26, 1995〕
==History==
In the mid-19th century "the hospital was suggested ... by Elisha Goodnow, who, by his will, dated July 12, 1849, gave property to the city valued at $25,000, for establishment of a free city hospital in Wards Eleven or Twelve."〔 Architect Gridley James Fox Bryant designed the first hospital, built 1861–1864 on Harrison Avenue in the South End. It was renovated in 1875, and again in 1891–1892.〔
As of 1905, the hospital consisted of "() the hospital proper, on the area bounded by Harrison Avenue, East Concord Street, Albany Street and Massachusetts Avenue, containing 430,968 square feet, or 9.9 acres; () the South Department, 745 Massachusetts Avenue, containing 125,736 square feet, or 2.9 acres; () the ambulance station, boiler and dynamo house, coal-pocket and wharf, Albany street, containing 69,785 square feet, or 1.6 acres; () the convalescent home, Dorchester Avenue, Dorchester, containing 610,500 square feet, or 14 acres; and () the relief station, Haymarket Square, 8,507 square feet, or 0.2 acres."
As of 2008 the buildings at 818 Harrison Avenue are partially extant: "some sections of the original hospital remain here and there within the hodgepodge of later construction."
