Bay Ridge Hospital
Bay Ridge Hospital's Brooklyn building[1][2] became a nursing home.[3] HistoryPre-World War I plans to build a hospital at Seventh Avenue, to be named Bay Ridge Hospital, were altered, and that location became Victory Memorial Hospital,[4] as "a monument to the soldiers of the section who died in service."[5] The result was described as "There would be no more Bay Ridge Hospital. Or would there?"[4] A series of steps led to what actually became Bay Ridge Hospital:[4]
After a major fire, they rebuilt, resulting in a five-story fireproof 437 Ovington Street main building and, across the street, "the hospital purchased 438 Ovington Avenue for use as its nurses’ home." The 438 building "no longer exists"[4] and 437 became "St. Nicholas Home for the elderly."[2] References
