"best known hospital architect in the West", designed Chicago Fresh Air Hospital

", Meyer J. Sturm, was a nationally-important expert and innovator in hospital design. With Chicago surgeon A.J. Ochsner, he co-authored a book in 1907, The Organization, Construction and Management of Hospitals, that became a key treatise on the design of the “modern” hospital."

"The 1919 redesign was led by architect, Meyer Sturm. Sturm is well known predominantly for designing hospitals across the United States and Canada. Born on 11 September 1872, he attended the Armour Institute of Technology in Chicago, then moved to Boston where he studied architecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology graduating in 1896. He trained under Handy & Cady of Chicago (1896-97) and worked as draftsman in the local Chicago site office of Shepley, Rutan & Coolidge of Boston (1897-98), then opened his own office in Chicago in 1899. His name can be linked to more than one hundred and fifty hospital buildings in the United States, and he served as consulting architect and designer of eight hospital and residence buildings in western Canada. Sturm was the architect for Chicago Landmark, North Chicago Hospital, at 2551 N. Clark in Lincoln Park."

It is now a landmark.
