Columbia Hospital for Women
The Columbia Hospital for Women was a hospital located in Washington, D.C. Originally opening in 1866 as a health-care facility for wives and widows of Civil War soldiers, it moved in 1870 from Thomas Circle to its later location at 2425 L Street, NW in the West End neighborhood. The Columbia became a private, non-profit hospital when President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed legislation transferring it to a board of directors in 1953. The facility closed in 2002 and the building was converted into a condominium, The Columbia Residences.[1]
Among the more than 250,000 people born at Columbia Hospital for Women were Duke Ellington, Al Gore, Katherine Heigl, Theodora Higginson, Henry Higginson, Feroline Burrage, Anne Douglas Burrage, Hope Atherton, and Lily Atherton.
