As written

“Little Sisters — 1968”

Fundraising to build the Queens Village home was underway by 1967; Queen of Peace opened in February 1970 as a newly constructed modern residence.

Why it matters

Joseph's work sits directly in the transition from old urban charitable homes to a modern purpose-built elder-care campus.

Scope confidence

Probable

Likely: most likely CMU/concrete-block partitions, shafts, stair/elevator enclosures and other fire-rated/service walls; exterior brick or masonry backup is also plausible where the hospital addition used a masonry facade.

This scope is recorded as probable, not documented. It is a disciplined reading of the building and the trade practice of the period, not a contract-level record of Kelly’s work.
