Isfahan Christian Hospital

At the beginning of 1283 AH, a businessman named Amin al-Sharia, who had made his house a school for Bishop Thomson, bought a cultivated barley garden with a size of eleven thousand metres in Koi Tabriziha (Abbasabad) at the request of the Anglican Missionary Association to build the Jolfa Hospital. Dr. Donald Carr, Mrs. Mary Baird, and Bishop Thomson completed this transfer and named it Christian Hospital. The building of the first Christian hospital included a women’s ward, a small hall, and a simple kitchen and laundry room. The entrance to the hospital was at the corner of Pars Alley, which opened into a vestibule.
