Washington Home and Community Hospices is a US health charity located in Washington, D.C., formerly called Washington Home for Incurables. Founded by Mrs. S. Charles Hill in 1888, it was incorporated March 6, 1889. Its object was to provide a comfortable and permanent home for persons afflicted with any incurable physical disability or disease, for whom no provision exists elsewhere. Previous to this time there was no provision for such cases. The Home was founded in 1888 by Fanny Hill, wife to S. Charles Hill who was philanthropist William Wilson Corcorans sister Martha Ellen's son. The Home was first located on Meridian Avenue, Mount Pleasant, in a building which soon proved altogether inadequate for the increasing demands made upon it. In 1892, land was obtained north of U Street, between Thirty-first and Thirty-second, on Georgetown Heights. Here a new building, costing over US$50,000 was erected. The new building was made possible without any public appropriation. More information...
