Winslow Hospital is located on Betts Street in Danville, a central thoroughfare of the city’s historic African American Almagro community. Built in 1940, the hospital facility consists of a one-story Colonial Revival style building with a Mid-Century Modern addition to the front entrance built in 1962. The roof of the 1940 building is clad with original slate shingles and its interior layout has a central corridor with patient rooms along each side. Planned, funded, and constructed to serve African Americans and operated by African American physicians and staff, the hospital was constructed to fill a vacancy in the availability of medical services for African Americans. It was the first and only hospital built by the city of Danville to serve the African American community during segregation. J. Bryant Heard, a prominent architect from Danville, designed the hospital, and C. M. Weber was the builder. There was a sterilization room adjoining the operating room and a tuberculosis ward, as well as private rooms and wards, sleeping quarters for six nurses, private bathrooms, and a kitchen in the basement. The facility was named for the late Dr. Albert Lincoln Winslow, the second African American doctor in Danville to open a medical practice. Dr. Winslow provided medical services in Danville for forty years and was a well-respected community advocate. Winslow Hospital is also notable for treating the victims of the historic event of June 10, 1963 known as “Bloody Monday,” the most violent occurrence in Virginia associated with the Civil Rights Movement.
