Hello List, Recently I asked a question you all about the location of Presbyterian Hospital and received so many very helpful answers. I thank all of you. I think the answer is that it was located at the SE corner of W. Trade and Mint Street. Apparently, the hospital was first located in a building that had been the Arlington Hotel. Now I have a picture of the Arlington Hotel which identifies its location as the SE corner of W. Trade and Church Street. I think Church Steet is wrong. Can anyone clear up this question for me? A million thanks. Constance

You will find that the Presbyterian Hospital had a number of roots. The earliest, I believe, was across West Trade Street from 1st Presbyterian Church, which is the location of the Arlington Hotel you have in your picture. My interest in the early history of Presbyterian Hospital comes from the fact that my great uncle, Dr. William Wakefield, was one of the four physicians who had a major part in this early history of Presbyterian Hospital. This brought my father to Charlotte to work for his uncle, and there my father met my mother, a Williamson, and thus I came to be. Good Searching - Good Finding - Good Luck!
