Medical School Building Demolished

“About 1860 the Yale School of Medicine moved from the old South Sheffield Hall to a private dwelling at 150 York Street. The school quickly outgrew the facilities offered by these premises, and about 1890 an additional structure was erected in the rear of the building. As the growth of the school continues, new facilities were acquired, including the Anthony N. Brady Memorial Laboratory (1917), and the original building was used entirely for anatomy.

“The building at 150 York Street was occupied by the school until 1922 and will be remembered by many alumni as the original medical school building. Although it was no longer a part of the school, the building continued to stand until December of 1957, when it was demolished as part of the city’s Oak Street Redevelopment Project.”

School’s Building Projects Earn Recognition

“Two recent School of Medicine building projects have received awards. The New Haven Preservation Trust presented a Merit Award to the School for its sensitive rehabilitation and creative reuse of the historic Jane Ellen Hope Building. The oldest building on the School’s campus, the red brick and rough stone building was built in 1902 as a clinic building. Renovations by architects Alexander Purves and Allan Dehar Associates for its use as a teaching facility were completed last fall.

“First prize for excellence in consulting engineering in the category of mechanical and electrical design was awarded the School by the New York Association of Consulting Engineers for fostering excellence in engineering of its new chilled water thermal storage system. The firm of Meyer, Strong and Jones, P.C., were mechanical and electrical engineers for the facility, which was built to increase the capacity of the Sterling Power Plant in order to provide air conditioning for the Yale-New Haven Medical Center.

“Augustus G. Kellogg, director of facilities planning for the School, was responsible for organization and planning of both projects.”
