“Isabella Nursing Home — 1976”

The exact project or site has not yet been identified.

Why it matters

Isabella began in 1875 with Isabella Uhl's wish to shelter older women who had no home or family. A century later the Washington Heights campus was pioneering a continuum of independent housing, nursing and social services. Its 14-story nursing-home building opened in 1972, so Joseph's 1976 entry records a later phase still waiting to be identified.
