Trafalgar Hospital was a 145-bed private nonprofit institution at 161 East 90th Street in Manhattan, New York, USA. [1] The building previously housed three other hospitals, including the Pan American Hospital in the 1920s. [2] By 1966, Trafalgar had replaced both coal and oil heating with gas. This one-time expenditure of $20,000 saved $12,000 per year. [3]

By late 1978, after facing regulatory and financial difficulties, [4] the hospital had closed, [5] and the 9-story 1926-built building [6] was in the process of being converted into co-operative apartments. [7]
