Monroe Community Hospital
Monroe Community Hospital is a county-owned health care facility providing quality long-term care to individuals with complex and chronic health conditions in Rochester NY. Construction of the building that we now know as Monroe Community Hospital began in 1931, in the midst of the nation's Great Depression. Siegmund Firestone, a notable Rochester architect and engineer, was hired to design and oversee the construction of this new facility. Mr. Firestone incorporated many innovative ideas into his design of the building and ensured that the project employed all local contractors. Mr. Firestone also hired a talented young architectural student and draftsman Thomas Boyde, Jr. as one of his assistants, and Boyde then became the first African-American architect in our community.
