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.
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]
