Elevation Design for the Front Façade of the Utrecht Emmakliniek (Demolished in 1979), Unknown (1916)
This 1916 architectural drawing in pencil and coloured brushwork/watercolour shows part of the proposed front elevation for the Emmakliniek in Utrecht. The Emmakliniek, near Wilhelminapark, was a private hospital founded by Dr J.W.Th. Lichtenbelt; its new building opened in 1916, contemporary accounts describe the intention that the building should feel less like a conventional hospital and more like a hotel or large boarding house, with a carefully designed interior and modern facilities for the period. The building was demolished in 1979 after a fire.
