Seasonal hospital
In 1845 the building returned to its original purpose and began seasonal operation as a hospital. A housekeeper-nurse had one helper, the Female Benevolent Society provided volunteers, and doctors took turns offering their services free-of-charge from September to May. The hospital cared mainly for the immigrant poor until the 1900's.
