St. Finbarr's Hospital (Irish: Ospidéal Naomh Fionnbarra) is a care home for elderly people on the Douglas Road, Cork City, Ireland.
History
[edit ]The hospital has its origins in the Cork Union Workhouse and Infirmary which was designed by George Wilkinson and completed in 1841.[1] [2] A large three-storey block was added to the north of the site.[2] The facility became the Cork District Hospital in 1898 and later became the Cork County Home and Hospital.[3] [4] It was designated by ministerial order as responsible for the treatment of medical, surgical and maternity cases, and cases of infectious and contagious diseases in 1923.[5]
