History
The nonprofit[4] 566-bed[6] hospital's roots can be traced to the 1933-built Monroe Community Home and Infirmary,[7] which was a replacement for the 1820s-built Monroe County Almshouse.[8] The Community Home structure "was designed by local architect Sigmund Firestone." [7] Firestone employed Thomas Wilson Boyde Jr. (1905-1981),[9][10] who later became[11] "Rochester's first Black architect." Boyde's "decorative architectural elements added to" Firestone's design.[12]
Some of the 190-year-old facility's[13] attending physicians are "affiliated with the University of Rochester's Strong Memorial Hospital."[4]
