Quote:Squad546 Wed 7th 5:48 amI got a phone call from an archivist, asking what I wanted to know. She thought I was looking for patient information so she said she'll have to go back and look for information related to the hospital itself.
At least they got back to you, that's really fast. Usually you can wait weeks and not hear back from anyone. I'll keep digging for pictures or a plan, but it doesn't see there is much on the site under either name. I found some vague references to modelling of the buildings while it was Seton Institute, but there is not description of what buildings were worked on or what work was done.
I found this on info on the Urban atrophy site. The owner of the site owns the monumentalcity.com website where I got most of my background on the site.
"The field stone building in the photos was called "Marian Courts", it was housing for student nurses that were trained at the hospital. The original tract of land was huge running from the Western Maryland Railway to near Liberty Road, Patterson Ave. to Northern Parkway. There was also frontage on Reisterstown Road. The present Reisterstown Road Plaza was built on the land of the St. Vincent's Orphan Asylum. The Mt. Hope property had a multi story home for retired nuns. A retreat house, now the NAACP headquarters, and the hospital. All of the property was owned by the Daughters of Charity a religious order based at Emmittsburg, Maryland."
