On this site in 1852, Jewish American philanthropist, Judah Touro, a distinguished veteran of the Battle of New Orleans, established Touro Infirmary to care for seamen, immigrants, slaves, and the indigent of all races and religions. Touro Infirmary relocated to Prytania Street in 1882. As a full service hospital, Touro Infirmary continues to provide health care to all of New Orleans.
