The result was described as "There would be no more Bay Ridge Hospital. Or would there?" A series of steps led to what actually became ''Bay Ridge Hospital'': * In 1912 "a group of local doctors" bought and converted a mansion "on Ovington Avenue, between Third and Fourth" into what was named "''Bay Ridge Sanitarium'', which had 12 beds." * In 1920 "a fireproof, one-story maternity ward was built." * By 1926 they had added space to the fire-vulnerable Sanitarium, and they had a total of 96 beds.
