Actually, OLV was built as a maternity hospital first(but not called OLV) and in 1919 it became a general hospital. Moses Taylor Hospital was obviously still operational in 1925 according to the articles I've found, but when it closed, I can't discover. ----- Original Message ----- From: Ruth Madar<mailto:[email protected]> To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Friday, May 02, 2008 2:53 PM Subject: Re: [NYERIE] Perry Projects & Bethlehem Steel Yes, Perry Projects are in South Buffalo. They originally were built for the WWII families. I was born in one of the apartments about a year after my father came home from the Army. The projects got really bad when some of them were torn down. The remaining ones were renovated but the newly fixed up apartments didn't last long. Extremely Ghetto now. Friends of ours who live in Buffalo/Lackawanna area decided to go for a ride in the Perry Projects area to reminisce where he grew up. A police car pulled him over, asked who he was, then asked if he lived there. Paul explained what he was doing, the police escorted them out of the area and told him, politely, that if he doesn't live there, he doesn't belong there and never decide to reminisce again in that area. This happened in the early afternoon. That's how bad it is. Also, my grandfather was electrocuted while working at Bethlehem in 1928 where he working as an electrician. He was hit with 440 bolts. As you can figure he died on the spot. His death certificate doesn't say where he was taken other then "place of death Bethlehem Steel Plant". I found nothing in the newspaper other then the normal death notice. One day soon I will go to the museum to see if anything is there about it. I, always, assumed he was taken to OLV because living in the area all my life, we always understood that OLV was first built as a hospital intended for the steel workers because there was so many. I've never heard of Moses Taylor Hospital. Perhaps we were mislead all these years and people knowing there was a hospital for steel workers assumed it was OLV. I will stop in at the museum to check it out. I found this subject very interesting. At 11:51 PM 5/1/2008 -0400, you wrote: >The Perry's are in South Buffalo, not the East Side.
