Stuyvesant Polyclinic Hospital
Stuyvesant Polyclinic Hospital, Former German medical facility in East Village, Manhattan, United States.
The brick and terracotta Stuyvesant Polyclinic Hospital occupies a five-story building with ornate Renaissance architectural elements at 137 Second Avenue.
The hospital, constructed in 1884 through Anna Ottendorfer's philanthropy, provided free medical care to German immigrants living on Manhattan's Lower East Side.
The medical center features terracotta busts of notable scientists including William Harvey, Carolus Linnaeus, Antoine LaVoisier, and Friedrich von Humboldt.
The building, designated as a New York City Landmark, currently functions as a branch of the New York Public Library alongside women's workspace facilities.
