History of the New York Skin and Cancer Hospital

The 1935 annual report of the New York University Post-Graduate Medical School and Hospital gives a brief historical sketch of the New York Skin and Cancer Hospital: "This institution is the oldest hospital in America to specialize in the treatment of skin diseases and cancer. It was founded in 1882 under the name of the New York Skin and Cancer Hostpital, and operated under the name of the Stuyvesant Square Hospital from 1931 until its affiliation with the Post-Graduate [Medical School] on September 1, 1934 as the New York Skin and Cancer Unit of the Post-Graduate." The New York Skin and Cancer Unit was located on Second Avenue between Nineteenth and Twentieth Streets, one block from the Post-Graduate Medical School and Hospital on Twentieth Street. In 1948 the New York Post-Graduate Medical School and Hospital merged with New York University to become the New York University Post-Graduate Medical School.

The records span the years 1802-1948, with the bulk of the mateirals covering the years 1890-1945. The majority of the records are deeds, mortgages, bonds and insurance policies regarding property connected with the New York Skin and Cancer Hospital. Many records concern the transference of individual interests in properties to the hospital.

Records of particular interest include Abstracts of title, tracing the ownership of the site of the hospital to Peter Stuyvesant and the Stuyvesant farm of 1802 (Box 1, Folder 1), as well as a notice to the Directors of the New York Red Cross Hospital concerning the exclusion of alcohol as a medicinal agent (Box 5, Foler 14), and the purchase of radium fo the hospital (Box 5, Folder 16). Also included is the memorandum of agreement between Stuyvesant Sq. Hospital (NY Skin & Cancer) and the Post-Graduate Mecial School and Hospital (Box 5, Folder 18). The estate of Cornelia Storrs is frequently mentioned, as well as her shares in mining companies (Box 4, Folder 4).
