New hospital tower exemplifying everything that is wrong with modern medical care with such extravagances as pricy design and architecture, single rooms, perks and amenities for patients, etc. It's like a massive insurance funded hotel.

Built during the 1820s, the row of houses on the 300 block of Saint Paul Place was erected in the aftermath of the War of 1812 and constituted some of the oldest buildings in Baltmiore. This row was the last row of its type downtown. By 1890, the houses played a central role in Baltimore's African American community as the location of the school for the St. Francis Xavier Church, the first Catholic Church for African Americans in the country. In the early 1900s, the row had both black and white residents at a time when mixed-race blocks were illegal in Baltimore. Mercy Hospital demolished the buildings in 2007, intending to build a new building on the site.
