North Carolina, Washington County, Somerset Place, Somerset Place State Historic Site, Plantation Hospital (Reconstruction) (East Elevation/North End)

            The plantation hospital was reconstructed in 2002.  Because each enslaved person was an asset with a monetary value, and because each had the ability to produce income for the plantation owner, a hospital was vital to the operations of the plantation- untreated injuries and untreated contagious illnesses would have a ruinous effect on the operation of the plantation.

During the early 1920s, the original hospital structure was used by a church known as Galilee Mission. The Mission was established by the Episcopal Church to serve Black residents of the area, some who were previously enslaved at Somerset Place plantation.   The original hospital was destroyed by 1929.
