Abandoned Hamilton Chedoke Hospital Long & Bisby Building

This building is known as the Chedoke Hospital Long & Bisby Building

Built in 1920 as a nurse’s residence, it was named after Mr. W.D. Long and Mrs. George H. Bisby, who donated the land for the nearby Mountain Sanatorium in 1906.

It became a daycare centre in 1982, owned by Chedoke Hospital and then the YMCA took it over around 2006, continuing its use as a daycare. The daycare finally closed in 2013, around the same time that the Chedoke Hospital closed.

There are plans for a large housing development to be built on the lands surrounding this building. The Long & Bisby building was given heritage designation in 202, as such, it will now be adapted for office use and is expected to house amenities as part of the new development.
