History & Current Status of the Building The structure depicted is famously known as the "Main Hospital" or "Old Main" at the University of Michigan Medical Center in Ann Arbor. Designed by the renowned architecture firm Albert Kahn Inc., construction began in 1920 and opened in 1925 (at a cost of over $4.4 million). The 1931 addition mentioned on the postcard added an 8th-floor penthouse dedicated to treating tuberculosis patients. Old Main served as the heart of Michigan Medicine for over six decades until a state-of-the-art replacement hospital opened in 1986. Old Main was ultimately demolished in 1989, and the site now houses newer medical research and care facilities within the expanding Michigan Medicine complex.
