Located at the intersection of North Taylor and Washington Avenues in St. Louis, Missouri 4500 Washington is a historic four-story building with a legacy spanning more than a century. Originally constructed in the 1920s as Liberty Hospital—the city’s first osteopathic hospital—the building has long served as a place of care, connection, and community support.

HDA is leading the historic renovation of the landmark structure, transforming it into a vibrant mixed-use community asset that includes 31 residential apartments, dedicated space for veterans, and gathering areas designed to strengthen neighborhood connections. Situated within the Central West End Historic District, the project balances preservation with revitalization, honoring the building’s rich history while creating new opportunities for residents and the surrounding community.

In partnership with MBG and a dedicated project team, the renovation reflects a shared commitment to restoring not only a historic structure, but also its enduring role as a place of belonging, dignity, and service for generations to come.
