It was designed by Samuel Hannaford & Sons in the Second Renaissance Revival style.","why_significant":"It is a well-preserved example of institutional architecture by the Hannaford firm, which specialized in hospital design, and is the best preserved of the original General Hospital buildings. It also reflects Cincinnati's nursing education history and the role of women in medicine and public health, notably through Laura Logan, for whom it was renamed Logan Hall in 1954.","narrative":"Built in 1914 as part of Cincinnati General Hospital's new campus, this five-story, H-shaped brick building at 311 Albert Sabin Way housed nursing students for roughly fifty years. Samuel Hannaford & Sons, a firm known for hospital design, drew it in the Second Renaissance Revival style, with a colonnaded porch, stone bands, brick pilasters and balcony railings bearing a G H monogram. Inside were dormitory rooms, dining rooms, a lounge, a library, a lecture room and a basement swimming pool. It was renamed Logan Hall in 1954 for Laura Logan, who directed the School of Nursing and Health from 1914 to 1925 and pushed public health training and women's leadership in nursing. After the early 1960s it was remodeled into medical offices, though its circulation, entrance lobby and exterior remain largely intact. It is the best preserved of the original General Hospital buildings and one of the few surviving Hannaford hospital works in the city.","period_of_significance":"1914-1955","architect_builder":"Samuel Hannaford & Sons Architect, Cincinnati","architectural_style":"Second Renaissance Revival","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Closed as a nurses' home in the early 1960s and remodeled in 1973 for medical offices; currently used as a psychiatric clinic and offices, with the exterior little changed.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:52:07.476994-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/05000581.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/05000581/9efc72b2a4-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/05000581/9efc72b2a4-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY 3.0","author":null,"credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:GeneralHospitalNurses.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Unknown author</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:GeneralHospitalNurses.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71989095","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Hospital_Nurses%27_Home","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5531950"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/hamilton-county/general-hospital-nurses-home-05000581/"}
