Fordham Hospital, the Bronx's first public hospital, moves to a new building on this site
Fordham Hospital, opened in 1892 as the Bronx's first public hospital, moved on May 11, 1907, to a 4-acre site beside St. John's College, now Fordham University, in a building by architect Raymond F. Almirall. Students of Fordham's medical school, open from 1905 to 1921, interned there. In the mid-1930s the Federal Art Project paid for murals inside by Emily Newton Barto and Elizabeth Deering.

The city closes Fordham Hospital over community protests and a sit-in
The New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation shut Fordham Hospital on July 15, 1976, despite wide protest, including a sit-in, and opposition from Borough President Robert Abrams and Bronx Community Board 6. The new North Central Bronx Hospital was meant to replace it. The old building was soon torn down, and the site is now Fordham University's Rose Hill parking facility.
