Bricks Remembered as Hospital Falls | Philadelphia News

Families are finally reclaiming cherished mementos from the shuttered Delaware County Memorial Hospital—engraved bricks and tiles honoring loved ones and births—before its demolition for a new education center. One woman, moved to tears, received her grandfather’s brick, a symbol of his life and legacy, now displayed in her home with his photos. As the hospital closes, other artifacts like staff directories and decades of scrapbooks are being preserved by the Upper Darby Historical Society, ensuring the hospital’s community impact isn’t lost. Unclaimed items may be displayed publicly, while the woman plans to eventually place her grandfather’s brick at his gravesite as a lasting tribute.
