Lying-In Hospital was a maternity hospital in Manhattan. Chartered in 1799, it was given a strong boost in 1897 with "the magnificent gift of $1,000,000" from J. Pierpont Morgan.
It relocated more than once, both before and after Morgan's donation. Their focus was expectant women. Lying-In Hospital merged in 1932 with New York Hospital, and the original name was dropped.
Their "Second Avenue, between 17th and 18th Streets" location "was redeveloped as an apartment building in the 1980s."
