HistoryThe 14 floor Hospital was founded in 1929 as Doctor's Hospital. Patients included Huguette Clark, Michael Jackson, Marilyn Monroe, Robert Mueller, Jacqueline Susann, James Thurber, Clare Boothe Luce, Oveta Culp Hobby and Eugene O'Neill.[1] Additional names treated or those that died at Doctors Hospital were Theodore Hardeen, AKA Hardeen, Houdini's brother and magician in his own right, who died at the age of 69 after a routine surgery in 1945.[2] Ann Woodward, wife of 'Billy' William Woodward, Jr., was promptly rushed to Doctors Hospital in 1955 after mistakenly shooting her husband. Billy was part of the 2nd and 3rd generation of the top 400 wealthiest of families in America. The infamous shooting, occurring in October, is commonly known as, "The Shooting of the Century". Ann Woodward's short, several day stay started nearly immediately that night after the shooting, stopping legal authorities from questioning her about the fateful night. By residing in a private room at Doctor's Hospital for treatment for her nervous upset, she successfully stopped legal authorities from questioning her about the shooting so that the families' lawyers could work with the police to find a more tasteful way of handling the situation involving the wealthy murderer and the Woodward name's delicate reputation.[3] It was acquired by Beth Israel Medical Center in 1987. In 2001, the medical facility had about 210 beds and more than 800 employees. The hospital was closed in August 2004 and sold along with two nearby apartment buildings for $166.5 million. The building was razed in 2005 and replaced with a new 19 story, 110 unit residential condominium building.[4][5] References1. ^1 Bill Dedman, Paul Clark Newell, Jr., Empty Mansions: The Mysterious Life of Huguette Clark and the Loss of one of the World's Greatest Fortunes, London: Atlantic Books, 2013, p. 228 {{NewYork-hospital-stub|NYC=y}}{{Manhattan-struct-stub}}2. ^"Hardeen Dead, 69.
