Riverside General Hospital
Riverside General Hospital, founded in 1927, was a historically significant institution in Houston, Texas, primarily serving the African American community during the era of segregation. It provided essential medical care when other facilities were inaccessible due to racial discrimination. The hospital faced financial challenges and ceased acute care operations in 2005. It briefly reopened as a psychiatric hospital in 2008 but subsequently closed again. The site has since been largely defunct, with various proposals for redevelopment over the years, but it is not currently operating as a general medical facility.
