During WWI, the site was offered to the
Red Cross.
The Red Cross operated here from 1917 -
1919 and then the building was turned
back over to the Trustees of Lee
Homeopathic Hospital

Improvements were made to the nurse
residence and by 1920, this was how the
temporary site of Lee Homeopathic
Hospital appeared.

Robert McEldowney chaired the building
committee which saw ground broken on May

become board president in 1936.
The first patients were admitted and
transferred from the old building on
April 1, 1929.
