Union Community Hospital is a historic hospital building for African-American patients during segregation located at Union, Union County, South Carolina. The front section was built about 1915 as a frame residence, and is a two-story building on which a brick veneer was placed in the 1930s, with Neo-Classical style design elements. The brick rear section was added in 1949. The Union Community Hospital was founded in December 1932, and provided services to the African-American community of Union County for 43 years. [2] [3]
