Listing Description

HUEY P. LONG CHARITY HOSPITAL 1938 (NR)

Huey P. Long Hospital was the first of eight charity hospitals established in Louisiana as part of Huey P. Long’s vision in the 1930s to provide medical care to the state’s indigent population. Pineville was chosen as the site for the hospital due to its central location within the state; two charity hospitals already existed in New Orleans to the south and Shreveport to the north. Construction for the three-story blonde and red brick clad hospital was completed in 1939 under the administration of Governor Leche, opening as MidState Charity Hospital. The name was changed soon after it opened in honor of Huey P. Long. The 247-bed hospital and 17 additional structures sit on a 20 acre campus. The main building was designed in the Streamline Modern style, with a horizontal, streamlined form, ribbon windows, flat roof, and rounded two-story porch extensions. After over 70 years of service, the facility closed in 2014.
