SALVATION ARMY HOSPITAL






<PRE>

The Salvation Army Archives in the 1980s was located in Manhattan. 
The archives has the records of its closed 
hospitals. Its address and phone number are:

Archives and Research Center
Salvation Army National Headquarters
615 Slaters Lane
P.O. Box 269
Alexandria, VA 22313 
(703) 684-5500
 
They aren't currently accepting e-mail requests because 
of the high volume they were receiving.


The first "rescue home" that The Salvation Army established for 
pregnant women was opened in 1887, and it was in Brooklyn. 
Unfortunately, I don't know what year it closed.
 
By 1928, there was :
Salvation Army Settlement and Day Nursery 
227 Knickerbocker Avenue, Brooklyn

Salvation Army Children's Home at 
394-400 Herkimer Street, Brooklyn

but there was no rescue home or maternity hospital in Brooklyn.
 
In Manhattan :
Salvation Army Home and Hospital on 
15th Street. 
It relocated to Flushing, Queens, in 1957 and was 
renamed Booth Memorial Hospital.
