Columbia Hospital for Women
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Columbia Hospital for Women was a hospital in Washington, D.C. Originally opening in 1866 as a health-care facility for wives and widows of Civil War soldiers, it moved from Thomas Circle to its later location at Pennsylvania Avenue and 25th Street in 1870. The Columbia became a private, non-profit hospital when President Eisenhower signed legislation transferring it to its board of directors in 1953. The facility closed in 2002 and the building was converted into condominiums.[1] Records from Columbia Hospital For Women are archived by Excel Archives in Virginia and inquiries may be made by calling 703-478-0802.
