Parkchester General Hospital, located in The Bronx,[1][2] was a privately owned[1] 208-bed medical facility[2] that opened in 1941 and closed in 1978.[1]
The hospital's initial building stood 8 stories high. A four-storey addition was built in 1960. The owner, Dr. Charles Louis Engelsher, died while plans were being made for an adjacent third building which was to house an eight-storey nursing home.[3] The hospital closed March 20, 1978 and was demolished some time prior to 2006 when an apartment building was built on the site.[4]
