St. Agnes Hospital was founded in 1896 by Sarah Lothrop Hunter, wife of Dr. Aaron Burtis Hunter, a white Episcopal clergyman and fourth principal (1891-1916) of St. Augustine's School, later Saint Augustine College, to provide quality medical care and training for African Americans; St. Agnes Hospital and Training School for Colored Nurses opened on Oct. 18, 1896, in a vacant house on the St. Augustine's campus.; after the original building burned, students quarried stone and rebuilt the hospital; the four-story, 75 bed center opened in 1908 and served as the only nurses training teaching hospital for African Americans between Atlanta and Washington, D.C. for nearly half a century; the hospital closed in 1961 after the opening of the desegregated Wake Medical Center.
