Description
A
postcard
of the
early
St
.
Thomas
Hospital
,
sometimes
referred
to as
St
.
Thomas
Sanitarium
. The
hospital
is
named
for its
founder
,
Bishop
Thomas
S
.
Byrne
of
Nashville
. In
1898
he
bought
a
mansion
home
in a
residential
West
End
neighborhood
on
Church
Street
between
Twentieth
and
Twenty-first
Avenues
and
converted
it
into a
hospital
.
Four
years
later
, in
1902
, the
hospital
building
pictured
on this
card
was
constructed
for
$200,000
to
meet
their
growing
needs
. The
mansion
is
partially
visible
behind
the
hospital
. The
hospital
was
made
of
red
brick
and had
arched
roof
gardens
on
either
end
of the
building
. In
1974
the
current
building
opened
on
Harding
Road
, and by
1975
the
old
St
.
Thomas
Hospital
was
torn
down
to
make
way
for a
Baptist
Hospital
parking
lot
.
