History

The Sisters of Bon Secours came to Baltimore from Paris; in the 1870s they bought the former Maryland Square (built 1795) and its grounds for use as a convent. They provided health care to the Roman Catholic community.

In 1919, George Jenkins, a philanthropist, provided funds to open a Roman Catholic hospital, which was built on the grounds of Maryland Square. The original mansion was demolished. The hospital was known as Bon Secours. In 1996, the hospital merged with Liberty Medical Center, which closed at the time.
