Trafalgar Hospital
Trafalgar Hospital[1] was a "145-bed private nonprofit institution" at 161 East 90th Street in Manhattan.[2] By late 1978 the hospital, after facing regulatory and financial difficulties,[3] had closed,[4] and the 9-story 1926-built building[5][6] was in the process of being converted to co-op apartments.[7]

The building, pre-Trafalgar, housed three other hospitals, one in the 1920s.[8]
By 1966 Trafalgar had replaced both coal and oil heating for gas: a one-time expenditure of $20,000 saved $12,000 per year.[9]
