Colorized image of the City Hospital. In 1870, the city of Portsmouth purchased this two story brick house from Thomas Dugan for $5,000.00 for use as the City Hospital. It was located on what was then called Chillicothe-Pike (Scioto Trail). Four years later the building became a children's home. In 1907 it was re-opened as Hempstead Hospital. After a third floor and two wings were added in 1923, the building looked much different. The name was changed to Portsmouth General Hospital in 1925, and Scioto Memorial Hospital in 1964 until the new hospital was built on Twenty-Seventh (27th) Street. This building was razed in 2006.
