The take
Founded in 1891 by Jane Renwick Smedberg Wilkes of St. Peter's Episcopal Church, Good Samaritan was the first independent private hospital in North Carolina built exclusively for African Americans, and it opened a training school for Black nurses in 1903. Additions in 1925 and 1936 grew it from 20 beds to 100, and its example inspired St. Agnes Hospital in Raleigh and Lincoln Hospital in Durham. The city bought it in 1961 and ran it as Charlotte Community Hospital — still with segregated wards — then as the Magnolia Rest Home from 1982, before the building was demolished in 1996 for the Carolina Panthers' stadium.
