Who founded st James' hospital Dublin?
St James' Hospital Dublin started life as a poorhouse. In 1667 The Dublin Corporation spent three hundred pounds laying foundations for a poorhouse on the site now occupied by St. James's Hospital. However the wars between William of Orange and James II intervened and the work was abandoned until 17O3 when Mary, Duchess of Ormonde, laid the foundation stone for the new development.
In 1727 a foundling hospital was opened on the site and many famous people including Jonathan Swift and the Arthur Guinness served on the board of governors. Between 179O and 1795 Abraham Colles worked as an apprentice of Philip Woodroffe, surgeon to the foundling hospital and Dr. Steevens' Hospital. The foundling hospital was closed in the early years of the nineteenth century. The buildings were then used as a workhouse for the poor and it became known as the South Dublin Union. The workhouse infirmary which originally only catered for sick inmates began to take on an increasingly active role as an infirmary for the sick poor. Some very able doctors worked here during that period including Robert Mayne who published important papers on cardiological topics.
