The Houston Negro Hospital School of Nursing Building is a school building at the Houston Negro Hospital complex, now named Riverside General Hospital,[2] located at the intersection of Holman Avenue and Ennis Street in Houston, Harris County, Texas.

The Houston Negro Hospital School of Nursing has the distinction of being the first school in Houston created for the express purpose of training black nurses.[3] The attached medical facility, the first non-profit hospital for Black patients in Houston, provided work for black physicians who were normally barred from admitting patients to segregated Houston hospitals.

Construction[edit]

In 1918, Houston philanthropist Joseph S. Cullinan established a fund to erect a fifty-bed hospital. Later, Texas oilman J. S. Cullinan, donated $80,000 to build the Hospital and the City of Houston donated the land.[2]

The Spanish Colonial Revival style building began construction in 1925 and the school was officially opened in 1927. Dedication of the building occurred on June 19, 1926, to coincide with 61st anniversary of Juneteenth, despite ongoing construction.[2]

The first administrator was I.M. Terrell.[2]

National Register[edit]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 27, 1982.
