Shore Road Hospital

The hospital attempted to advance state of the art in this and other areas, including:

• use of temporary artificial sunburns in place of tags and footprints; the effect would last for two weeks.^[4]
• new forms of anesthesia for women giving birth^[3]
• experimental injections to treat varicose veins.^[5]

The hospital's building previously was a mansion "built around 1910 to 1911"^[3] and later owned by John J. Raskob.^[2] Conversion was done by Charles Greenfield, who operated Shore Road Hospital for 43 years.^[1] The hospital's grounds were large enough to accommodate constructing housing for nurses and other employees.^[3]

The main structure was razed in 1977. Once "the entire hospital complex was torn down"^[3] a 558-unit apartment house was built on the three-acre site:^[2] Shore Hill Apartments.^[3] Plans for a taller building had previously met community resistance.^[6]
