Bronx Maternity Hospital[1] was a growing medical facility which was heralded "POOR TO BE TREATED FREE: Forty Beds to be Devoted Exclusively to Mothers and Ailing Children" in 1920[2] when they outgrew their prior location.

History

[edit]

From a 1914 MATERNITY HOSPITAL FAIR[3] to a 1920 dedication "attended by a thousand or more men and women"[2] they grew. In 1930 The New York Times headlined "Maternity Institution Plans a $1,000,000 Structure"[4]

Twenty-one years later a "Building Plans Filed" headline followed.[5] The hospital has since closed.
