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

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.
