Figure 2. Original Babies Hospital. added. In 1924, a second annex was added to include a dining room. Dr. Sidbury recognized the importance of the psychological support of having the mother stay with the baby and accommodations for mothers in the rooms with their children was arranged in 1922 and continued throughout the existence of the hospital. On Sunday, May 29, 1927 the hospital was demolished by fire and the nine patients were transferred to the James Walker Memorial Hospital in Wilmington. At that time the counties adjacent to New Hanover made no provision for hospital care of indigent children and the James Walker Memorial Hospital was not supposed to accept charity cases from outside New Hanover County. For this reason it was urgent that an alternative arrangement be made. A few hours after the fire the Board of Directors of the Babies Hospital met and decided to resume operations in another cottage on Wrightsville Sound which had been made available for a dollar for the remainder of the season through the generosity of the Murchison Bank and its president, Mr. J. V. Grainger. On September 23, 1927, a certificate of incorporation was amended to meet the needs of a new hospital as a nonprofit stock corporation. In December 1927, a contract was let for a two story fireproof hospital which opened on June 15, 1928, having been constructed with funds from insurance on the old building and from donations by public subscriptions (figure 3). Beginning in 1939, the hospital remained open year round. Hurricane Hazel struck October 15. 1954 at high tide. Buses at the back door were prepared to remove the patients when necessary. Dr. Sidbury delayed the decision because he believed the building to be one of the safest in New Hanover County. The Atlantic Ocean completely covered Wrightsville Beach and reached the first step of the front porch of the hospital. The waters then receded and evacuation was not necessary. The hospital served temporarily as a headquarters for the Red Cross, Salvation Army, Figure 3. Babies Hospital 1928. 54 Vol. 45. No. 21
