305 Chauncey Street: The First St. Joseph's Hospital
This home was built in 1839 by Benedict Buehler. It is of a lovely French design and has a fine wine cellar of 16 x 23 ft. The floor is of brick laid in a beautiful pattern. The building was sold to Franz Schultz in 1874, who, in August, 1885, donated the property to the St. Peters Catholic Church to be used for a hospital with the stipulation that the Nuns of St. Mary would run the hospital. Thus it was that this home served as the St. Joseph Hospital until 1891 when a new hospital was erected at 218 First Capital Drive, nearer to the St. Peters Church.
