CITY HAS BEAUTIFUL HOSPITAL

Opening OF the new Ypsilanti
hospital Saturday will mark the
close OF an interesting chapter
OF municipal construction history.
Started at a time when war time
restrictions were at their peak, 1t
required the ultimate In diplomacy,
foresight, determination and care
full planning on the part OF city
officials and most particularly the
able architect Ralph Gerganoff, to
complete a modern fireproof build
ing. Steel was so closely restrict
ed that satisfactory construction
seemed next to impossible, yet
Architect Gerganoff managed 10
get II. So confident was he that
all would somehow come right In
the end, that he bought much OF
the material before contracts had
been approved.
Later when 1t came TO landscap-
Ing and he knew the time was
right for planting and seeding. he
went ahead after securing per-
mission OF the council. And when
he saw an opportunity to nearly
double capacity of the hospital by
adding one more story It relatively
small cost, he worked untiringly
for that objective, as he also did
IN various previous instances, par
tiCularly in the original plans

TENTS beds and call system from
other departments. Three rooms
comprising the Emergency Treat
ment rooms are located on the
ground floor accessible to the
driveway on the west side.
The main kitchen is located on
the ground floor and has all new
and modern equipment, a dumb
waiter servicing diet kitchen on
each floor, three large refrigera-
tors, dish washing machine and
complete ventilating system
There is also a diet kitchen in
onnection with the nursery in
he maternity ward.
The sterilizers are furnished in
Ill departments, surgery, materni-
ty ward, In the laboratory, emer.
gency rooms and in all utility
rooms.
The new elevator is In the CEN
ter OF the building, is automatic
with two speeds and extends from
the boiler room level to the third
floor. The new building is heat
ed with two steam boilers. The
sterilizers and some of the kitch-
en- equipment are supplied with
steam and hot water by a high
pressure boiler. The boilers, coal
and machine rooms and a large
storage room are located in the
basement which is below driveway
level. All three boilers are provid-
ed with stokers.
Construction
The building is of fire proof con-
struction with brick and stone ex-
terror. It has masonry wall and
partitions, reinforced concrete
floor slabs. terrace finished floors
and tile base. The interior walls
and ceilings are plastered and
painted in four different colors.
The corridor ceilings have accous-
tical plaster. The interior wood
work Is painted ivory enamel and
the doors are natural birch finish.
The new hospital building was
designed by r. s. Gerganoff, archi-
tect. who also had charge Of the
construction work and the pur.
chasing Of the equipment. Mr..
Gerganoff has been the architect

which made the basement more
practical and useful than II might
otherwise have been.
The new hospital, adjoins the
Boyer Memorial Hospital, TO the
south. II was built at a cost OF
1904 $4,000, OF which amount $780,
$50 was furnished by the Federal
Works Agency and $4,000 by
the City OF Ypsilanti or this
amount s4S,0OO was appropriated
from various city funds and $4,000
was secured through sale or reve-
nue. or self-liquidating bonds.
This new four story and base
ment building has a capacity of
one hundred fifty five beds and
contains the following depart
ments: Maternity Ward on the
first floor with two delivery rooms,
labor and preparation rooms and
nursery for fifty bassinets; Sur
gical Department on the second
floor with one minor and two ma
Tor operating rooms and the nee
essary preparation rooms, steriliz-
ers and nurses work rooms; X-Ray
Department in six rooms on the

to proceed with the work. a delay
OF several weeks was caused by
lack OF priorities. Just as Mayor
Bower and Architect Gerganoff
had made reservations TO go to
Washington TO inquire about these
priorities, Spencer Gordon of the
Willow Run Community Council
offered to do some telephoning to
the expediting committee In De
troit and Washington. An encour-
aging report was received and a
few days later construction started
again. From the numerous letters
and kilograms that passed between
Earl Kitchener at Washington and
the architect and Board OF Com
MERGE in Ypsilanti II is quite evi
dent that Rep. Kitchener took
an active part in encouraging and

Tor many YpsIlanli buildings dur
ing the past twenty two years. in
Guiding the Ypsilanti High School,
the College Dormitories, Rackham
School, the Country Club, and nu-
merous commercial and residen'
tial buildings. Gwendel Morhous
assisted In making of the plans and
acted as superintendent OF con-
struction at the building.
The plans for new Ypsilanti
hospital were started in 1888 when
several OF the local doctors met
with Architect Gerganoff TO dis
cuss the various phases of con-
struction and financing OF such a
structure. Sketches and estimates
were prepared. Some OF the doc
tors and the architect visited re-
Gently built hospitals in other cit
les and formulated the size, cost
and capacity OF a hospital for Yp-
slant. No finances were avail
able and 1t took a period OF two
years to arouse sufficient interest
\ in the city for new hospital. Alex
p. Seedorff, director OF the Board
of Commerce and Paul Ungrodt,
secretary, did a great deal of mis-
sionary work during 194l. appear
ing before the local service clubs
and common council on behalf of
the hospital. In December 1941 an
application was made TO the Fed
eral Works Agency for a grant to
construct an eighty bed, three story
and basement, fireproof building.
at cost OF 100000.
After the attack by Japan on
Pearl Harbor this application was
disregarded and the government
proposed to give financial assist
ance only for a one-story building
of wood construction. and 1t was
necessary to reapply on this basis.
| The local authorities and Ypsilanti
residents in general were opposed
to q one-story wood structure. The
architect made several plans and
several trips to Chicago and De-
troit offices of the F. w. A. until
two story and basement build
ing OF masonry walls and wood
floors was approved, but no prior
lty would be given for steel of any
kind. AS the plans progressed
the architect secured the services
of Carl Johnson who is familiar
with steel manufacturing and dis
tribution.
Mr.. Johnson located several
places that handled reclaimed steel,
had it on hand and could sell
it without priority. A trip to these
yards by Mayor Bower and the
architect resulted in the buying
of twenty-five tons OF reclaimed
steel. The EVA. engineers ap-
proved the redesigned plans con.
tanning concrete floors with re-
inforcing steel, provided the steel
was reclaimed and the hospital
had 1t on hand, that other steel
materials would be on hand with
no priorities and that the fire proof
building would not cost more than
the wood building. This was com
piled with, the bids were in line
with the available funds. the con-
tract was approved and construc-
ton started on April 10, 1913, on
the basis of fire-proof structure,
having two stories. basement and
sub.basement for the boiler and
machinery rooms.
Third Story
A third story was added after
Architect Gerganoff estimated that
at a cost of $114,S50, rs additional
beds could be provided, practically

doubling the capacity and consid'
erably reducing the cost per bed
for the entire hospital. This was
accomplished after a great deal
of effort on the part OF William
Durant. chairman OF the hospital
committee and the consent of the
common council. The application
for this addition, Qualifications. let
tiers of recommendation and all
necessary statistics had to be re-
peated as for the original project.
DR.. Otto K. Engelke OF the Health
Department gave valuable assist
ance in establishing need for the
original addition as we'll as the
