As written

“Victory Memorial Hospital - Brooklyn — 1987”

Victory Memorial's main buildings predated 1987 by decades, so this was an addition or alteration.

Why it matters

A late-career hospital row with a strong 'institution disappears, building survives/reuses' angle once the 1987 phase is identified.

Verification notes

v3.5.87 identity correction Open → Verified. Rita explicitly names Victory Memorial Hospital and Brooklyn; surviving records confirm the Bay Ridge campus. Exact 1987 alteration scope remains unresolved. | v3.6.12 photo selected and staged: KM-195_Victory_Memorial_2008.jpg

Scope confidence

Probable

Likely: selective masonry alteration: likely CMU/block partitions and fire-rated walls, infill or enlargement of openings, patching/rebuilding of existing masonry, and localized brick/stone work rather than the building's original structural frame.

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.
