When Ichabod Washburn died in 1868, he provided funds for the creation of this hospital. It was originally located in the mansion of Samuel Davis in the same site as it is now, on Belmont Street.

I worked at this hospital in 1977 when I was 17...It was a great place to work. I worked in the Centrans dept. I now live in Cleveland Ohio and work at The Cleveland Clinic foundation, but still remember the good times here.

This old retired Marine spent many a nite on the porch of the nurses home having a bliss filled few minutes of good night smooching with my love Judy K. (Where is she now?) Ahh, the sixties! Bob Doyle

I remember clearly back in the 1940's when I was about 10 or 12 years old, there was entrance to the hospital on Kendall Street. When you went in and turned left down the corridor, there was a great big old wooden elevator on your right. It was operated by pulling on a rope which passed through holes in the ceiling and the floor. Don't ask me how it worked. I have no idea.
