The Saint John General Hospital was a public hospital in Saint John, New Brunswick.[1]
The hospital was completed in November 1931 and cost $1.6 million to construct.[2] Built on a hill near the center of the city, the 12-storey building, topped with a gleaming metal dome, was a prominent landmark in Saint John's skyline.[2][3]
The hospital boasted state-of-the-art facilities for its time: in 1932 its new cancer clinic was treating patients with radiation therapy, in 1952 it introduced a neurosurgery department, and in the 1960s it became the first hospital in the region to offer renal dialysis.[2]
The hospital also housed the Bureau of Laboratories that would later become the Provincial Laboratory Service.[4]
The building was expanded in 1959 with the addition of a new wing, but by the late 1970s the facility was dated and many services formerly provided at the General Hospital had moved to newer hospitals.[2] On October 31, 1982, the last patients were moved to other facilities and the hospital officially closed.[2] It remained empty and condemned until December 10, 1995, when the building was demolished by a controlled implosion.[3]
The hospital's dome survived the demolition intact and was pulled from the rubble. It now forms the roof of a gazebo in a small Saint John park, located near Garden Street.[5]
