Carlile - Devine House - 1870s

Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard

Constructed on an entire block at the foot of Cameron Hill was this two-story Victorian mansion. It served as the Carver Memorial Hospital (1947-62), the first Municipal Hospital in the South completely staffed by African-American doctors and nurses. The house was torn down as part of the Golden Gateway urban renewal project in the 1960s.
