Jefferson Davis Hospital
Jefferson Davis Hospital operated from 1924 to 1938 and was the first centralized municipal hospital to treat indigent patients in Houston, Texas. It is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.〔 The building, located in Houston's Historic First Ward, was designated as a protected historic landmark on November 13, 2013, by the Houston City Council and is monitored by the Historic Preservation Office of the City of Houston Department of Planning and Development.〔http://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/houston/article/Jeff-Davis-Hospital-several-Houston-houses-4996185.php Jeff Davis Hospital, several Houston houses receive landmark designation Houston Chronicle Retrieved 12 July 2014〕
The location of the former hospital has gained notoriety as a stigmatized property due to public perception of its haunted origins.
Prior to the construction of the hospital building, the lot was used as the former municipal cemetery and burial grounds for the City of Houston where thousands of Confederate States Army soldiers, former slaves, and city officials were laid to rest.〔 The municipal cemetery operated on the lot from 1840 until the mid-1890s when it fell into decay, resulting in the reclassification of the lot for use as a municipal hospital by the Houston City Council in the 1920s.〔
==Architectural style==
Designed by Wilkes Alfred Dowdy, Architect for the City of Houston, the building for Jefferson Davis Hospital was constructed as a 4-story red brick structure with handsomely detailed façade that included stone veneers and rows of double-hung windows.〔〔 The design was considered quite modern at the time of its construction and represented the architectural elements that were favored in the early 1900s for hospital design.
