Rutherford Medical
303 Second Avenue
In 1899, construction began for the New York Lying In Hospital designed by Robert H. Richardson and donated by J. Pierpoint Morgan. The hospital opened its doors in 1902 and during its early years, sixty percent of all hospital births in Manhattan took place here.
In 1934, Manhattan General Hospital took over the building and became a pioneer proprietary voluntary hospital providing medical, surgical, and obstetrical care.
