TheSociety for the Lying-In Hospital was amaternity hospital situated at 305Second Avenue betweenEast 17th and18th Streets in theStuyvesant Square neighborhood ofManhattan,New York City, United States. Now known asRutherford Place, the building was added to theNational Register of Historic Places in 1983.Lying-in is an archaic term for childbirth (referring to the month-longbed rest prescribed forpostpartum confinement).[3]

It was built in 1902 and designed by architectR. H. Robertson in theRenaissance Revival style, with aPalladian crown at the top. Swaddled babies decorate the windows of the 5th floor and thespandrels of the building, which was converted to offices and apartments in 1985 byBeyer Blinder Belle.[2]

As the years passed,John Pierpont Morgan Jr. was concerned about the long-term stability of the hospital his father had so generously provided for. He recruitedJohn D. Rockefeller Jr.; George F. Baker, Sr.; and George F. Baker Jr. to join forces in establishing an association withNew York Hospital. Upon the subsequent opening of the New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center in 1932, the Lying-In Hospital moved out of the Second Avenue building. It became the more modern-soundingObstetrics and Gynecology Department of New York Hospital,[4] which is still part ofNew York–Presbyterian Hospital.

This hospital was "said to account for 60 percent of all births in Manhattan."[5] Some of their staff did medical research.[6]
