Bemerkung:

Columbia Hospital for Women was one of the oldest hospitals in Washington DC and had occupied this site since 1870. In March 1866, the hospital opened in the Hill Mansion at Thomas Circle (Massachusetts Avenue and 14th Street) under the name of Columbia Hospital for Women and Lying-in Asylum, and later moved to the Maynard Mansion at Pennsylvania Avenue and 25th Street. The original mansion was razed during a major renovation in 1914.
