From the 'Turnback Tuesday' archives: Griffin Hospital, Birmingham Academy


[This post was first published on Sept. 29, 2015.]

Since we missed last week's posting, this week's "Turnback Tuesday" features not one but TWO photos:

This first one is of Griffin Hospital, which admitted its first patient on Dec. 9, 1909. 

Originally designated as "The Derby Hospital," the name was changed when George Griffin, a wealthy Shelton industrialist, bequeathed a portion of his estate towards the building of the new hospital.


The second photo is of Birmingham Academy, built in 1838 on Fifth Street. 

This building became the Irving School in 1869 and was located where the Derby Veteran's Community Center is today.


Thanks goes to Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week.
