Renovations begin at Beebe’s historic Shaw Building

The historic Shaw Building at Beebe Healthcare is undergoing an exterior renovation. Work includes the roof, windows, some doors and more. Beebe spokesman Ryan Marshall said the project coincides with the residency program moving into the Shaw Building. The structure will still be called the Shaw Building, but inside is now the R. Randall Rollins Center for Medical Education, where residents and medical students are trained/educated. It’s fully funded through philanthropic efforts of the Beebe Medical Foundation and the community.

The Shaw Building is named after Benjamin F. and Helen M. Shaw, who expanded Beebe Hospital to a 35-bed facility as a gift in 1921. Shaw also donated the land that is now Grove Park to the City of Rehoboth Beach.
