Jefferson Davis Hospital, Former public hospital in First Ward, Houston, United States
The Jefferson Davis Hospital building features a Classical Revival design with monumental Ionic columns and cast stone details on its symmetrical red brick exterior.
Built in 1924 on the grounds of the Old City Cemetery, the structure served as Houston's first centralized municipal hospital for treating patients without means until 1938.
The building now functions as Elder Street Artist Lofts, providing 24 residential spaces for creative professionals within the First Ward arts district of Houston.
Located at the intersection of Dart and Elder Streets, the three-story structure stands on an elevated position just north of downtown Houston.
The building sits atop the burial grounds of thousands, including Confederate soldiers, former slaves, and early Houston officials from the 1840s municipal cemetery.
