History
It was founded in 1835 as a specialist skin hospital (Nick Black, Walking London’s Medical History, 2006)
Its physician was Dr J. P. Litchfield (The Lancet, vol. 1, 1835–1836)
It apparently closed shortly afterwards, in 1837, despite the high hopes its founders had originally had for it, and the royal patronage they had apparently attracted (The Lancet, vol. 1, 1835–1836)
