Old hospital to be demolished by Coronado wrecking
Coronado Wrecking Company plans to demolish the old Osteopathic Hospital at Fourth and Sea after removing salvageable materials from the boarded up building. The site, once the John Ray home built in 1917, was purchased in 1943 for a hospital by Dr. Reynolds and Dr. Thielking and later abandoned in 1960 when Memorial Hospital was built. Mrs. Raymond Smith, the current owner, says demolition will occur soon as the wrecking crew completes its salvage work.
