Midwood Hospital
Midwood Hospital opened in 1907 as Midwood Sanitarium. It closed in the 1970s, and its building served as a private school from 1979 thru 2000. History The original four-story Midwood Sanitarium wood structure was replaced and renamed in 1929, after a fire, with a fireproof building that used more of the grounds and could treat more patients. It received repeat business for births, and was noted for "bright and cheery colors" as "a relief from endless white walls." From 1979 to 2000 it housed St. John's Elementary School, a private school. The next use for the 19 Winthrop Street building, still continuing as of 2021, is via CAMBA, Inc., a city-funded social services organization.

Location Map
In geography, location or place are used to denote a region (point, line, or area) on Earth's surface or elsewhere. The term ''location'' generally implies a higher degree of certainty than ''place'', the latter often indicating an entity with an ambiguous boundary, relying more on human or social attributes of place identity and sense of place than on geometry. Types Locality A locality, settlement, or populated place is likely to have a well-defined name but a boundary that is not well defined varies by context. London, for instance, has a legal boundary, but this is unlikely to completely match with general usage. An area within a town, such as Covent Garden in London, also almost always has some ambiguity as to its extent. In geography, location is considered to be more precise than "place". Relative location A relative location, or situation, is described as a displacement from another site. An example is "3 miles northwest of Seattle". Absolute location An absolute locatio ...
