Tinted image of the new Hempstead Hospital opened in 1908, named for Dr. Giles S.B. Hempstead. Enlarged with a third floor and 2 wings in 1923, it was re-named Portsmouth General Hospital in 1925. In 1964 it became Scioto Memorial Hospital until the new building was built on Twenty-Seventh (27th) Street in 1968. The old building on Scioto Trail was razed in 2006.
