Fourth & Fifth Floors at the Cook County Hospital in Chicago IL, 1915. Paul Gerhardt

A Beautifully Detailed, Original Plan of the Fourth & Fifth Floors at the Cook County Hospital in Chicago, Illinois.  HAND-COLORED.  Paul Gerhardt, Architect. From the American Architect and Building News, October 13, 1915.

This picture is extremely hard to find, as the American Architect and Building News not only had a very small circulation during that time, but very few were actually preserved or colored as this has been. It measures 13.25 by 8.75 inches. Has a mat border and foam core backing (not attached to the picture). The whole plan measures approximately 16 by 12 inches (with mat border). Finely detailed and beautifully hand-colored. Shrink wrapped.

Plan is in VG+ condition with light browning along the edges and some light crinkling.
