As written

Greenwalt Pavilion — 1971

Greenwall Pavilion was completed in 1972 with capacity for 320 additional residents; Joseph's list places Kelly on the project in 1971.

Why it matters

It joins Kittay House in revealing a repeat Kelly relationship with an institution that was helping invent modern large-scale geriatric care.

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.
