About this property

The Pine Ridge Hospital (also known as the Pine Ridge Apartments) is a historic building in West Palm Beach, Florida, that served as a hospital between 1923 and 1956. It is located at 1401 Division Avenue. The hospital was designed by West Palm Beach architects Harvey and Clarke, a two-story structure featuring masonry vernacular-style characteristics. The hospital building was deemed historically significant at a local level for its role as the sole hospital serving African-Americans in West Palm Beach in the period up to the ending of segregation in the 1960s. Since the closure of the hospital in 1956, its former building has been vacant at times but is currently used as an apartment building, the Pine Ridge Apartments. On January 26, 2001, the Pine Ridge Hospital was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
