The construction of the hospital began in 1910, and despite the fact that the building was still being constructed at the time, the facility started taking patients in July of 1914. It didn’t take long before the conditions became extremely congested and uncomfortable.<\/p>\n

Throughout time, the hospital grew to incorporate both a surgical unit and a nurse’s home into its facilities. The building was expanded in the 1940s to include a third level.<\/p>\n

In 1965, a new hospital was constructed in the surrounding area, and Brownsville was redeveloped into a nursing home that was given the name Golden Age. By the 1980s, several accounts of mistreatment and lack of supervision by adults came to light.<\/p>\n
