History[]
Morrisania Hospital Building
The hospital, which had a separate structure for laundry,[4] opened in 1929 as a 400-bed facility,[5] three years after it was built.[2] By the time it closed, Morrisania was described as a 311-bed facility.[6]
"After more than 20 years of sitting empty" the hospital's structure was converted to an apartment building.[4]
