TIE NEW COOK COUNTY ISFIEMA11Y.
The design presented BY J. G. Cochrane,
| architect, for the newt Cook County lnfirlli-
ary was adopted by the Board Of ColnmIs-
sioners OH the I'd day Of August last. Since
that time the architect has been ensaSed in
completing the working drawings, which are
nearly Completed The plan is certainly
original. The object sought has been
to secure light and air. therefore the
pavilion plan has been selected rs tile most
feasible. 10 secure the greatest amount Ut
sunshine the buildings have been PLACED ir-
regularly, radiating from two common ccn-
tres. The administration and the four DORM
itory buildings are placed i'll front Of Il corri-
dor which is in the shape of half Il ciall-
link In the cehtre and dividing the corri-
tlors, arc the two dining-roonls aud the
kitchen buildings comprising III all nine
buildings, having total front stretch Of 440
feet
The arrangement of these buildings issuch
that -
THE sun WILL SHINE
into every room twice each day, striking one
side of the buildings III the forenoon aud the
other sides in the course of the afternoon.
However difficult it Is to accomplish such ILL
arrangement, the architect has done 1t, anti
to great perfection. Mr. Cochranc has done
much towards educating the public III the
method of constructing hospital buildings,
and the witnesses Of his skill are tile Cook
County and Michael Reese Hospitals now
built, description of the latter having been
recently published i'll this paper. Tile pl;tn
of the new intirInary is after the lnodel OF
this hospital, but OF 4 greater Scale.
The buildings will BIZ plain OIL the exterior,
common brick walls, c1lilyencd by red
courses Of brick and rvd-brick arches over
openings, and s11rmounted with steep roofs,
on d 45-degree angle All the roofs will be
pointed, thus producing Il fine cifect i'll tIie
grouped buildings. The plain roofs will be
relieved by Louvre dorlners with sloping
roofs. while the ridges will have Il black
cresting common to the style Of architect
,lrc of the buildings.
LII the fronts Of the principal buildings
will be two and three story verandas, thus
forming pleasant shade for tile occupants,
which will much add to their comfort and
pleasure.
The isolation Of the buildings forms anotll-
er guol feature, as it affords protection from
fire.
: The central building is IS BY Is feet, and
three stories and basement III hight In the
basement are two large work-rooms and
stair-llall In tile principal story is Il wolll-
ems rcading-roon, mems reading-ruoln. and
stair-fall. Tie second story has nine prI-
vate rooms and the staiI-llalI, while in the
third is a large hospital ward and two pri-
yate rooms and the stair-l1:l]. The tlorlni-
tory buildings are each - fcet BY TO feet,
and two stories and basement.

Of the buildings to the tlininS-roorls is only
seventy feet. This is accomplished by rad-
ating all tile buildings from the dining rooms,

slonerS. The administration building will
bc ventilated By grutes anu direct flies i'll
the walls. The dorlnituries will he venti-
lated each by four yentlIating shafts two
feet four illcIies square, i'll which are placed
shect-iron smoke pipes. Registers will be
placed near the floors alld ceilings, the yenti-
lation being direct. Tie hospitals and dill
