Excerpt from The Modern Hospital, Vol. 5: July to December, Inclusive, 1915
The main central building, which contains the administration offices, consists of a ground floor basement, with six floors above. The north and south pavilions also have basements, with four floors above. To the rear is a service building con sisting of a sub-basement, a ground floor and four floors above. Automatic elevator service carries one quickly to all the floors. The corridors are wide and airy. The stair halls are partitioned off from the main corridors, preventing the transmis sion of noise and odors. Off the arcades of each floor are located the foyers, which are available to the visiting friends of the patients; also the nurses' signal stations, where patients' calls for the nurse are silently registered by a lighting sys tem; on each floor are located, likewise, the nurses' desks, telephones, auxiliary clocks, and similar accessories.
The lighting system throughout is indi rect - by electricity - and patients may, without rising, turn the light off and on by means of a push button near the bed. Every room in the entire hospital has out side light. The private rooms are of goodly size, sound-proof, and with high ceilings, and arranged along the lines of high-grade apartments, thus lessening the possible gloom of the sick room. All suites and many of the single rooms have private baths and lavatories, and the wards are correspondingly equipped.
