The hospital, which closed in 1978, was on a list of 11 hospitals that the State Health Department attempted to close in 1976, allegedly "to fill up the municipals."^[4] In 1979 the building was converted into a dormitory to house 400 Iranian boys, age 10 to 22, who came to the United States "after the fall of the Shah."^[5]

In 1993 the building was demolished for a girl's yeshiva.
