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. |
