Notes 1 We have no way to be sure how long these buildings had been dedicated as Houses of Healing, but it is notable that (uniquely in the city) the Houses stood within their own gardens. This could be taken to imply that they were intended by the city's builders as a place of rest and recovery, and therefore may date back even as far as the city's founding. Admittedly, the gardens may originally have had some other purpose, or might themselves have been a later addition to the city, but their presence at least implies that the Houses of Healing were long established in their place on the sixth circle of Minas Tirith.
