Montefiore moves its chronic-disease hospital from Manhattan to this Norwood site
Founded in 1884 to honor Moses Montefiore's 100th birthday, the Montefiore Home for Chronic Invalids began on East 84th Street and moved in 1888 to Broadway and West 138th Street. In 1913 it moved to the location in the northern Bronx that the hospital still occupies, and took the name Montefiore Home and Hospital for Chronic Diseases. That earlier hospital stood on this site before the present building.
