Description

Aerial of Parkland Hospital, 3819 Maple Ave, Dallas, Texas. In the 1920s, Maple Avenue in the vicinity of Parkland Hospital became a part of "hospital row," representing one of the largest and most complete hospital centers in the Southwest. In addition to the expansion of Parkland, "hospital row" at Maple Avenue saw three new medical projects in the early 1920s. The Richmond Freeman Memorial Hospital was located directly south of Parkland, across Oak Lawn Avenue at Maple Avenue and Welborn Street. At the same intersection was the Carrell-Driver Clinic and Reconstruction Hospital. Southeast of the intersection was Hope Cottage, a facility for the care of "foundling children." Adjacent to that was the "Hella Temple Children’s Hospital," later known as "Shriners Hospital for Crippled Children." Across the street from Parkland was the "Dallas Baby Camp," designed for the care of children suffering from diseases and undernourishment. Lining Fairmount St. from Oak Lawn south for three blocks were 17 separate medical clinics.
