“Presbyterian Hospital - Vanderbilt Clinic — 1971”
Ground was broken in 1969 and the new Broadway lobby opened in 1973.
One of several Columbia-Presbyterian jobs that show a long-running relationship with the medical campus.
What Kelly did here
Family source
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.
