Caledonian Hospital — new wing

Joseph helped build a wing that doubled a Brooklyn hospital; less than twenty years later the hospital closed, and its Prospect Park campus was reborn as apartments.

As written

“Caledonia Hospital - Brooklyn — 1986”

Caledonian's new wing was complete by 1987. The hospital closed in 2003; the former campus was later converted into the residential project 123 On The Park.

Why it matters

A strong late-career lifecycle: Joseph built a major hospital expansion in the 1980s, the institution closed in 2003, and the campus was transformed into housing rather than erased entirely.

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.
