Title
Modernism and Medicine: The Hospitals of Stevens and Lee, 1916-1932
Abstract
The author considers the work of Boston- and Toronto-based architects Edward Stevens and Frederick Lee during a critical period in North American hospital expansion in the early decades of the twentieth century. Without exception, she argues, their hospitals represented state-of-the-art planning wrapped in conservative exteriors. The author focuses on five Stevens-and-Lee projects: Montreal's Notre-Dame Hospital and two additions to the Royal Victoria Hospital (Ross Memorial Pavilion and Royal Victoria Montreal Maternity Hospital), the Kingston General Hospital, and the Ottawa Civic Hospital.
