Baylor All Saints Medical Center

1400 8th Ave. - 1959; 1971; 1994

All Saints Episcopal Hospital began in 1906 with 24 beds on the southeast corner of W. Magnolia and 8th Avenue.  In 1959, the hospital purchased a larger piece of land where they built a newer four story hospital on Enderly Place.  The old building was closed.  At that time, Enderly Place was one block west of 8th Avenue.  In 1960, the hospital underwent a major expansion by adding an 8 story addition to the south of the original building.  In 1971, another four story patient building was constructed across Enderly Place, the street was closed and the buildings were connected.  Over the years, the hospital continued to expand to the rear of the property and to the south.  The original building was built with buff brick and all of the additions through the 1970's continued the general architectural style of the campus.  In 1994, the hospital expanded again by constructing a triangular building that housed a new main entrance, lobby, emergency room, surgery, and outpatient departments.  The architectural style of this addition was in contrast to the earlier buildings by using different colors of concrete block, brick, and tile.  The first photograph shows the 1960 tower, the 1971 addition, and the 1994 addition.  The second photograph shows only the 1994 addition.
