     History
    Mountain State Hospital, Charleston - Originally MEMORIAL HOSPITAL when it was founded in 1922, Mountain State's first accreditation was in 1924. It closed its school in September, 1952. At the time of its discontinuance, it had a pediatrics affiliation with Children's of Cincinnati, had listed one as early as 1931 with Cincinnati General. Its directors included: Miss Marie Cook, 1926; Miss Mabel C. Fuller, 1928; Miss Eleanor Ocheltree, 1937; Miss Kathryn R. Dooley, 1941; Miss Yolando Frisch, 1943; Miss Ida Pagenhardt, 1944; Miss Rebecca Feaster, 1946; and Mrs. June H. Wilson, 1949.
    The East End hospital’s nursing school closed in 1952 and became the Mountain State Nursing Home in the 1970s. In 1997, the name was changed to Capital Center, and the nursing home relocated to NorthGate business park in 1999.

    *-Apparently soon after the Hospital closed a Nursing home occupied the site untill around 2001 from what we can tell
