McKinney Hospital, Old
700--800 S. College, McKinney, TXThis was McKinney's 1st hospital built exclusively for that purpose. Its construction was the result of a community-wide effort that involved large donations from wealthy citizens and from a municipal bond that was approved by the voters of McKinney. This structure served as the city's hospital until 1959 when new facilities were erected on the north end of town. Although the old hospital has been converted into an apartment building, it still remains an important landmark in the community. It is a noteworthy local example of the Classical Revival style. The hospital is being nominated with the Nurse's Apartment Building as a complex since both are closely related.
Local significance of the building:Listed in National Register of Historic Places in 1987.
