This early image of the Hospital is from an 1801 map of the city of
Baltimore. Although it may depict Captain Yellott's Retreat, it is more
likely that it shows the "new" hospital building that was built on the
site in 1798. Not shown in this
view is Market Street (today's Broadway), which would be to the west of the
hospital (to the left). The street indicated by the dotted line that runs
across the top of the map is the Old Road to Philadelphia, which was also known as the
Old Joppa Road. Although
not labeled on the map, the road that runs to the right of the hospital is
roughly where the current Wolfe St. is located. The original hospital
stood almost exactly where the domed Administration Building of Johns Hopkins
Hospital stands today. The 1798 building was later incorporated into an expanded
hospital building, as part of
the west wing.
