James C. Hart gave the colonial revival style building in memory of his wife who had been a member of the Board of Lady Managers. In 1907 the Hart family gave another memorial building, the James C. Hart Maternity Building which was built opposite the nurse’s home.

Williams presented the Hospital with its first ambulance. Competition developed between Rochester's four hospitals for patients. Within the first seven months, there were 433 ambulance calls, 48% of which were "hurry" calls.

Although half the city's residents lived north of Main Street, and suburban growth had expanded to the lakeshore, no hospital existed in that area. The Civic Committee and the Rochester Hospital Fund directors believed the need for a hospital on the north side of the city far outweighed the need to expand Rochester General at its downtown site.

One physician, one surgeon, a resident physician, a superintendent and his wife, a cook and a laundress staffed it.

In May of 1864, Saint Mary's and the City hospital were alerted that 300 casualties were on their way. Three hundred seventy-five patients arrived by train on June 7, sixty of whom were destined for City Hospital. These were the first of 448 soldier patients that the Hospital would receive over the next twelve months. Many of these patients came from Grant's bloody Virginia Campaign to capture Richmond.

This new medical facility was to be built on the Buell property. By 1952 the partnership plan fell through, and Rochester General continued alone on the project. The new hospital was to be called the Northside Division of the Rochester General Hospital, and the older hospital became the Westside Division of the Rochester General Hospital.

In the early 1920's, under the leadership of Marion Bradley Baker, the group of loosely knit volunteers was forged into an organization that gained national recognition. Sun, 03 May 2009 00:00:00 EST
