As written

“Morningside House — 1972”

The nursing-home company incorporated in April 1972; later architectural records date major Bronx Morningside House buildings to 1974.

Why it matters

A purpose-built Bronx elder-care complex created as older charitable homes consolidated into a modern nursing facility.

Scope confidence

Probable

Likely: original-construction masonry likely included exterior brick/masonry where present plus interior CMU/block partitions, shafts, stairs and fire-rated/service walls. Do not describe Rita's 1972 entry as a later alteration: it belongs to the new replacement-building campaign.

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.
