Lucie, From what I can gather at http://ech.cwru.edu/ech-cgi/article.pl?id=HHHFC Woodland Hills is a neighborhood in Cleveland near East. 79. At one time there was a hospital there called Health Hill. "Incorporated in 1895 as the Children's Fresh Air Camp & Hospital, it was the result of HIRAM ADDISON'S† desire to provide a healthy environment for ill children and their mothers. The hospital was built on land in Woodland Hills donated by Jacob Perkins. Originally, it provided only convalescent care and dietary treatment for children." This seems to fit in with your letter from Henry Wahl to Anton Rueth. It may have been where Anton's wife and children stayed while she was recuperating or perhaps she and the children shared the same affliction. The first major change in the design of Cleveland hospitals came with the construction of Lakeside Hospital (see UNIVERSITY HOSPITALS OF CLEVELAND). Like many hospitals in the city, Lakeside began its institutional life in a private residence converted to accommodate patient beds. Between 1876-96, Lakeside occupied the U.S. Marine Hospital; it was finally compelled to erect a new building upon expiration of its lease. In 1891 and 1895, trustees visited major hospitals in metropolitan centers east of the Mississippi and subsequently adopted a pavilion or "cottage" plan modeled on Johns Hopkins Hospital (1885) in Baltimore, then the most respected teaching hospital in America. The pavilion plan of the new Lakeside Hospital, located at E. 12th St. and Lakeside Ave., offered the ventilation and drainage deemed essential for proper SANITATION. Central administrative, kitchen, and laundry services were housed in separate buildings connected to wards, surgical buildings, and dispensary and nurses' quarters by long corridors. The only structure that stood apart from the whole was the "autopsy building," which accommodated pathology and clinical microscopy laboratories after 1901. The overall layout of the hospital was dictated by the new appreciation of the role that germs played in disease, with isolation and ventilation the most important features of any hospital plan.
