Harlem Hospital is the public-health character: a building where electricity is not glamour but reliability, ventilation, heat, lifts, and the daily discipline of care.

What this place asked the work to do.
New York's public institutions were moving uptown with the city. A hospital power house made infrastructure visible because failure would have been felt immediately by patients and staff.
What it can carry
This can carry an uptown hospital infrastructure role and a separate later addition trail.
What remains careful
It should not be collapsed into one undated hospital story. The 1904 power-house and later addition are related but distinct.
