History
History information is some background and history about the location. This is meant to be a basic summary. Below the history records you will find sources in which you can click on to find out more information. There may be multiple history records per location.
Pioneer Palestine businessman George Anderson Wright and his wife Mary Henry Wright lived in a beautiful Victorian home built in the late 1883. George Anderson Wright was a former Palestine mayor who was in the general mercantile business for many years. He also was involved in the organization of the First National Bank of Palestine in 1887, and served as the first president of the bank. He passed away on Nov. 5, 1939 in his home. "Research done by the Wright's descendant, great-great-grandson Steve Sussdorf has shown that this was one of the grandest homes between here and Galveston during its era," Clay Henderson said. "It was known as Mary's pride and joy. It was tore down in 1940 - what a crying shame for something so beautiful to be torn down." Mary Henry Wright died in 1943. The Palestine Memorial Hospital was built on this property in 1951 - where it remained open for a few more decades. Closed for years now, the property's most recent owner donated the property to a non-profit group based in New York. The Palestine City Council upped the security on the old hospital site in late 2010 due to various complaints.

Stories
Stories are just that. Stories and personal accounts that have been reported about the location.
Just standing near the old hospital can be a haunting experience. One's imagination will reel while gazing at the building, and into the broken windows. Blurry images from within begin to take shape if gazed upon in curiosity too long.
The old hospital, though not in use, has seemingly not been entirely abandoned. The city of Palestine may no longer have use for the building, but the spirits within seem to be restlessly busy inside. If you are passing by the old hospital, where some lives were saved and others were lost, beware of the spirits that may seem to beckon to you from within. The calls and cries that can allegedly be heard, are not calling for you to come in, but rather they are calling to be set free and reunited with others from the other side.
