Samuel Coates Portrait by Thomas Sully

Portrait of Samuel Coates (1748-1830) by Thomas Sully. Coates became a member of the Hospital's Board of Managers in 1785, and continued serving as a Manager for forty years until his advanced age necessitated his stepping down. He served as the Secretary of the Board of Managers for 26 years, and as the President for 13 years. Today this painting hangs in the Pine Center Building.
