Lying-In Hospital,[1][2] which was chartered in 1799, was given a strong boost in 1897 with "the magnificent gift of $1,000,000" from J. Pierpont Morgan.[3][4]
It relocated[5] more than once, both before and after Morgan's donation. Their focus was expectant women.[6] Lying-In Hospital merged in 1932 with New York Hospital,[5] and the original name was dropped.[7]
Their "Second Avenue, between 17th and 18th Streets" location "was redeveloped as an apartment building in the 1980s."[8]
