| Additional Comments | A 'site file' exists for this property. It contains additional information such as correspondence, newspaper clippings, or historical information. It is a public record and may be viewed in person at the Wisconsin Historical Society, State Historic Preservation Office. Schmidt, Garden & Martin of Chicago designed original 1919 building. Later additions built in 1923, 1931, 1941, 1951, 1965, 1969 and 1978. Local architects Eschweiler & Eschweiler designed 1931, 1941, 1951 and 1965 wings. Columbia Hospital was founded in 1909 on an idea of emphasizing scientific research to treat disease by providing superior laboratory facilities for medical staff. Originally established in former Knowlton Hospital and Training School in downtown Milwaukee before moving to current site. Columbia doctors developed the "Milwaukee Brace" to treat scoliosis of the spine. Previously surveyed in 1975 with map code 34. Map name was 3rd Aldermanic District. Note: Although it is stated above that the firm of Schmidt, Garden and Martin of Chicago designed the original portion of this building in 1919, Passante states that the records of the very prominent Milwaukee firm of Brust & Phillip show that this firm actually designed the original portion of this building and also the Columbia School of Nursing Building next door (AHI# 119875). This discrepancy is still unresolved. |
