My maternal grandfather, Louis Allen Shepherd, was born at Columbia Hospital for Women in Washington, DC on December 29, 1922.
Here's a photo of the hospital, located at 2425 L Street NW, taken sometime between 1909 and 1932:

According to Wikipedia, Al Gore, Duke Ellington and Katherine Heigl were also born here. Interesting!
