THE
HOSPITALS, DISPENSARIES AND
SEMI-MEDICAL INSTITUTIONS
OF
KINGS COUNTY AND BROOKLYN .*
T THE BROOKLYN CITY HOSPITAL .- So far as known, the first proposition to establish a hospital in this city was made by Dr. Isaac J. Rapelyea, in his inaugural address, delivered July 13th, 1835, when President of the Kings County Medical Society. A memorial and petition from that society was presented to the Common Council on the 25th of the same month, but without immediate results. In 1839, public attention was sharply called to the need of a hospital, by an ac- cident in Fulton street, near City Hall, in which a gentle- man from Buffalo had his leg broken. There was no place to which he could be carried, for care and treat- ment, except the alms-house, four miles distant. Hon. Cyrus P. Smith witnessed the accident, and he, with Mr. Robert Nichols, had the stranger conveyed to a pri- vate house near by, and cared for at their expense. Their active efforts to establish a hospital met with apathy and discouragement. At first they attempted only to engage physicians and surgeons to attend such patients as should be taken to a house owned by Mr. Smith in Adams street, near Johnson, which afforded ac- commodations for only ten or twelve patients. Through the efforts of Mr. J. M. Perry and others, the Common Council passed an ordinance August 5th, 1839, appro- priating $200 per annum to the support of the hospital thus established. On the 2d of September following, a staff of physicians and surgeons was appointed, and the institution was organized, with a body of rules for its management. It was thus continued until 1844, when the appropriation from the city ceased, being then considered not warranted by the city charter. But the need of such an institution was by this time appar- ent to all. The matter was brought before the citizens of Brooklyn, in December, 1844, by the Society for Im- proving the Condition of the Poor. A large public meeting was held February 17th, 1845, and a committee appointed to secure the incorporation of a hospital. The act of incorporation was passed by the Legislature on the 8th of May following, naming the following per- sons as trustees : Robert Nichols, Henry E. Pierrepont,
Cyrus P. Smith, Peter C. Cornell, John Greenwood, Joseph W. Harper, William S. Packer, Edward W. Dunham, Augustus Graham, Henry Sheldon, Edgar Hicks, George Hall, Edgar J. Bartow, Hosea Webster, Abiel A. Low, Alfred Edwards, Elisha D. Hurlburt, George S. Howland, Patrick Mullen, Nicholas Luqueer, Joseph L. Hale, John H. Smith.
This board took immediate steps to raise means for the purchase of grounds and the erection of the neces- sary buildings. At this early period Augustus Graham, Esq., manifested his interest in the work by a donation of $5,500.
In October, 1846, a frame dwelling in Jackson street (now Hudson avenue), near Willoughby, was purchased of Mr. Thomas Titus for $2,600. This small building bore the sign, "Brooklyn City Hospital." Repeated and persistent efforts were made to interest the public and secure aid for enlarging these temporary accommo- dations, but with poor success. At length a better day dawned. July 4, 1848, Augustus Graham, Esq., whose heart was in the work, gave bonds and mortgages amounting to $25,000 for an endowment fund, on con- dition that the citizens of Brooklyn should contribute an equal amount. The trustees appealed to the public for contributions, but with little or no response for two years, when the new city charter went into effect, which allowed to the City Hospital the sum of $2,000 annually. Inspired by this, the twelve or thirteen trustees present at a stated meeting of the board, Octo- ber 21, 1850, started a subscription with about $11,000, to which the public added only some $4,000. Mr. Graham gave $2,000 more, and generously waived the condition annexed to his gift of $25,000 in 1848.
In the meantime, thirty-seven suitable lots had been purchased on the high ground adjoining Fort Greene (now Washington Park), and in the latter part of 1850 the first sod was removed from the site by Mr. Graham. He laid the corner-stone of the new hospital building, June 11, 1851, with appropriate ceremonies.

HISTORY OF KINGS COUNTY.
Fearing that the lots on the southern line of the hos- pital grounds, fronting on De Kalb avenue, would be occupied by buildings preventing the circulation of air, the trustees raised among themselves money, and pur- chased and enclosed these twenty lots with an iron railing and a plantation of trees.
The edifice is of brick, with stone trimmings. The main building is 52 feet wide and the same in depth, and four stories in height. To this have since been added two wings, 74 feet long, 56 feet deep, three stories high; also an extension of 30 feet in length and the same height in the rear. The center building was com- pleted and opened for the reception of patients April 29, 1852. The building stands on high ground on Raymond street, north of De Kalb avenue. The large lawn is smoothly graded down to the street and neatly kept.
