History Edit
Plans for the hospital were discussed at the home of Armstrong Todd, a surgeon who lived at London's 16 Burlington Street.[2] The Hospital for Stone subsequently opened in 1860 at 42 Great Marylebone Street.[2][3] It moved again, this time to a purpose-built facility in Henrietta Street, designed by J. M. Brydon in the Queen Anne style and opened by Prince Leopold, Duke of Albany in 1882.[3] Henry Clutton, the ninth Duke of Bedford's architect, required amendments to be made to the design to suit the Bedford Estate's requirements. The building was constructed in such a way as to allow it to be converted in the future into residential flats and chambers.[4][5] It closed in 1948.[6]
The hospital joined with St Paul's Hospital to form the Institute of Urology in 1948.[6] The Institute was joined by St Philip's Hospital in 1952 and the hospitals became known as "the three Ps."[6] After services were transferred to the Middlesex Hospital the Institute closed in 1992.[6] The building in Henrietta Street has since been converted for residential use.[6]
