Trafalgar Hospital was a 145-bed

Pan American Hospital in the 1920s.[2] By 1966, Trafalgar had replaced both coal and oil heating with gas. This one-time expenditure of $20,000 saved $12,000 per year.[3]

By late 1978, after facing regulatory and financial difficulties,[4] the hospital had closed,[5] and the 9-story 1926-built building[6] was in the process of being converted into co-operative apartments.[7]
