Saint John General Hospital
The dome of the former Saint John General Hospital
The Saint John General Hospital was a public hospital in Saint John, New Brunswick.
The hospital was completed in 1931. Built on a hill near the center of the city, the imposing building was a prominent landmark in Saint John's skyline.[1]
In 1995 the building was demolished by a controlled implosion, having been closed for about ten years and the building condemned.[1] At the time of its closing, one of its wings had never seen service.[2]
The hospital's dome survived the demolition intact and was pulled from the rubble. It now forms the roof of a gazebo in a Saint John park.[3]
