Historical NoteReturn to Top

Doernbecher Memorial Hospital for Children was a new addition to healthcare facilities on Marquam Hill. Construction of the six-story hospital in 1925–26 was financed primarily by a donation from a charitable trust managed by the heirs of Frank Silas Doernbecher (1861–1921), a prominent Portland businessman who established the Doernbecher Manufacturing Company in Portland in 1900. The company was Portland's leading furniture manufacturer, and grew to become one of the country's largest furniture makers. Frank Doernbecher had stipulated in his will that the money, which amounted to $200,000, be given "to some charity for the benefit of the people of Oregon." The hospital's original name was the Doernbecher Memorial Hospital for Children, and from the start it was part of the University of Oregon Medical School, which in the 1970s became Oregon Health & Science University. The Bennetts were a local family living in Milwaukie, Oregon.
