Description: Photograph of the old Tuberculosis Hospital in Hamilton County, Ohio. The hospital was built in 1879 on Guerley Farm under the name "Branch Hospital for Contagious Diseases," and was meant specifically for tuberculosis patients. As the disease spread, more buildings were necessary and the complex became the Cincinnati Tubercular Hospital. In 1945, the name was changed again to the Dunham Hospital in honor of Dr. Henry Kennon Dunham, one of the country's leading researchers into the causes and cures of tuberculosis. He served as the hospital's director from 1909 to 1940. Once a cure was discovered in the 1940s, the number of tuberculosis patients decreased dramatically, and the hospital was no longer needed. This building, along with most others on the property, was demolished in 1973 to make way for the Dunham Recreation Complex. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: This illustration depicts the Bacon Building at the Academy of Medicine, which was founded on the northwest corner of Walnut and Sixth Streets in Cincinnati. The illustration appears in "The Cincinnati Journal of Medicine, Centennial Issue," published in 1957. Cincinnati physicians established the Academy of Medicine in 1857. It served primarily as a social and educational club for local physicians. Members met together to share knowledge, to establish standards for medical education, and to debate medical treatments for various illnesses affecting the community. The Academy of Medicine has continually operated since the 1850s. In 2003, the organization provided local residents with a physician's referral service, public lecturers, and health information telephone line. The Academy of Science, which originally only allowed men to join, eventually formed a women's auxiliary. View on Ohio Memory.
