1. New Haven Hospitals Marker
The New Haven State Hospital was designed by architect Ithiel Town and built in 1833. Illustrated here is the North Building, which served as the entrance to the hospital.
In 1888 the Farnam Operating Amphitheater with up-to-date facilities replaced an operating room that was on the top story of the North Building. It is shown on the left with the East Wing of the Hospital on the right.
Grace Hospital was founded in 1889 as a homeopathic medical institution. Its original building shown here was located on Chapel Street near the area where the Hospital of Saint Raphael was later built.
In 1945 Grace and New Haven Hospitals merged to form the Grace-New Haven Community Hospital.
