Culver Union Hospital, hospital in Indiana, United States
Culver Union Hospital is a four-story brick building in Colonial Revival style with Ionic columns at the entrance and a pitched roof. Built in 1902 and expanded multiple times through 1977, it was converted in 2016 into Historic Whitlock Place, offering studios and one- to two-bedroom apartments for residents.
The hospital was founded in 1902 with support from L.L. Culver and served Montgomery County as the main healthcare facility with all local doctors on staff. After financial struggles, it closed in 1984 and was fully vacated in 1997, then recognized on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.
The building reflects the role women and local communities played in establishing healthcare in the area. Its transformation into apartments shows how historic structures serve new purposes while maintaining their connection to the past.
The building now houses senior apartments in various sizes including studios and one- to two-bedroom units. The location is walkable with nearby shops and restaurants, and amenities like elevators and 24-hour maintenance support residents throughout the property.
The hospital was started by women in Montgomery County in the late 1800s who raised funds and worked with doctors to create healthcare for their community. This founding story makes it a notable example of women's civic participation in rural America during that era.
