Re: The French Apartments
In addition to catalyst, and Vespa's father, someone else born in the French Hospital is poet laureate Billy Collins, in 1941. And Snap was right, Babe Ruth died there, in 1948 (Lou Gehrig died at home, in Riverdale).
The certificate of occupancy shows that the alterations by which the French Hospital was converted into the French Apartments were completed in 1981. If anyone is interested in property history and maps in NYC, a great online resource is:
