Covington's Booth Memorial Hospital

Booth Memorial Hospital located in Covington, Kentucky founded by The Salvation Army . The original building owner Amos Shinkle, a contemporary of Simon Kenton and Daniel Boone, was a pioneer Northern Kentucky businessman and industrialist. He selected the high point overlooking the Ohio and Licking Rivers and built his home on that location. The building was, in typical fashion of that day-a castle like structure of bricks, large windows and turrets having marble statuary, inlaid floors, and high ceilings. After Amos Shinkle died, the remaining family members reached an understanding with the Salvation Army on the use of the mansion. Then, in 1913 renovating and remodeling got underway to transform the old mansion into the William Booth Memorial Hospital. The first patients were admitted in 1914. [14] The original William Booth Memorial Hospital of Covington, Kentucky was converted to residences, and now is the Governor's Point condominium complex in the heart of the historic district on Second Street.
