History

They acquired a new facility in 1912.[4] Their locations, all in The Bronx, included:

  • East 142nd Street
  • 459-161 East 143rd Street
  • 321 East Tremont Avenue[1]

The New York Times reported in 1939 that the prior year, having opened in what was to be their final location, the hospital "had 19,472 patients."[5]

NYC building records of 2021 show the long since closed hospital's building serving as an infirmary.[6]
