Boro Park General Hospital[1][2][3] (sometimes written Borough Park General Hospital),[4] was a 1920s to 1960 hospital whose Brooklyn address concurrently had one of two other names. The 1925-built structure[5][4] is now a school.

History

[edit]

Boro Park General Hospital,[3][6] (4413-4421 Fifteenth Avenue) included Boro Park Maternity Hospital,[7] which was bought by "Dr. Philip Mininberg, an obstetrician" and renamed Brooklyn Doctors Hospital.[8][9] The hospital's maternity annex, built in 1925,[4] was sufficiently separate so that during a 1935 fire that "filled the maternity structure with smoke" three doctors and ten nurses moved the ground floor mothers and babies to the General Hospital "next door."[10]

They also owned the 45th street corner property across Fifteenth Avenue,[11] and they had a nursing school.[citation needed] After a fire, that property (4420 15th Avenue) was torn down and the lot remained vacant until 1986.[12]
