I checked in my regimental of the 153rd, and the best I can come up with is several references to the Poor House, which, of course, would be the Alms House on Harrisburg Road located a few hundred yards south of Barlow's Knoll. Makes sense to me if it was used as a hospital. It became a Confederate hospital after the 1st and 11th Corps were pushed through town.
There were also a few references to the "11th Corps Hospital," which apparently turned out out be a barn on the Spangler Farm located just off the Baltimore Pike (and supposedly where Armistead was taken after he was wounded and where he subsequently died). But that would be for the fighting of July 2-3.

I hope this helps. If I find out anything more definite, I'll let you know. But this might be a good starting point.
