Saint Thomas Hospital
On April 11, 1898, at the request of Nashville Bishop Thomas Byrne, the Daughters of Charity opened St. Thomas Hospital on this site in the former home of Judge J.M. Dickinson. Named for Byrne's patron saint, the hospital began as a 26-bed "refuge for the sick," opened a new building in 1902, operated a School of Nursing, and grew to 333 beds before moving in 1974 to 4200 Harding Road.
