Considered by many to be Cincinnati's master architect, Samuel subsequently maintained by his sons Harvey Eldridge and Charles E. Hannaford, and two grandsons H. Eldridge and Samuel N, Hannaford.
Harvey Hannaford (1857-1923) and Charles Hannaford (1860-1936) were admitted to the firm in 1887 when it became known as Samuel Hannaford & Sons. Under the name S. Hannaford and Sons or Samuel Hannaford and Sons the firm continued with great success during the first several decades of the twentieth century and during this period was credited with many distinguished public and institutional buildings, with a specialization in hospital design. The design for Cincinnati's General Hospital was undertaken in 1911, the year of Samuel Hannaford's death, and construction was completed in 1914. The Health and Medicine: The General Hospital Nurses' Home that came to be known as Logan Hall occupies an important role in Cincinnati's medical history.
A residence for nursing students for over fifty years of its existence, the building College of Nursing and Health at the University of Cincinnati in 1938. The college is still in operation. At each step in this progression nurse-administrators were at the helm. Logan Hall was named for one of these administrators, Laura Logan, Director of the School of Nursing and Health from 1914-1925. The Nurses' Home is part of the fabric of Cincinnati's culture and history through its associations with three progressive movements - hospital care, public health, and women's history.
When Cincinnati General Hospital moved from a downtown location to a new Hannaford-designed campus in the university area in 1914, when the women were not in class or working at the hospital, the dormitory served as virtually their only outlet field work in public health during her administration as Director of the School of Nursing and Health, leading to complex. for dining, social and recreational needs. Miss Logan, a pioneer in curriculum reform, instituted courses and is the physical embodiment of an unbroken line of progressive nurses' training programs that date from the founding of a training school in 1889 through several successor organizations to the creation of an autonomous Architecture: the Nurses' Home became a haven as well as a training ground for aspiring nurses.

Unquestionably, Laura Logan set the tone for medical achievement among women.
Il OVERALL HISTORY Area of significance: Architecture Samuel Hannaford/Samuel Hannaford & Sons was regarded as one of the most prestigious architects/architectural firms in southwestern Ohio during its long period of operation - from 1857 until the II. Samuel Hannaford was born in Devon, England in 1835, one of eleven children of farming parents. They moved to Cheviot (now incorporated into Cincinnati) when he was ten. Samuel was educated at the Farmers' twenty-one he practiced on his own for a year, living in a rented room near his small office on Third Street and struggling to make ends meet. Then he joined Edwin Anderson to establish the firm Anderson and Hannaford, which flourished from 1857 to 1870. After this Samuel Hannaford practiced alone for a few years, then added 1878.
Ten years later, atter practicing alone for some time, Samuel Hannatord took into partnership his sons Charles E. and Harvey Eldridge Hannaford, both of whom had served as draftsmen in the immediately preceding years. He changed the name of the firm to S. Hannaford and Sons in 1887. Harvey Eldridge was involved in the design of some of the firm's most ambitious projects, including Cincinnati City Hall (completed complex included a five-story dormitory for nursing students, designated Logan Hall in 1954. One of Samuel II, came into the firm soon after. The two remained as principals in the firm for many years. Cincinnati General Hospital was one of Hannaford and Sons' most ambitious undertakings.

In 1819 Daniel Drake founded his own school in Cincinnati, the Medical College of Ohio, and served as its first Professor of Theory and Practice of Medicine. The college grew from 25 students at its inception to 124 students from thirteen states by 1826. Students attended lectures and joined professors on their rounds at the Commercial Hospital. In 1830 he left the city to accept a chair of medicine at Jefferson Medical School in Philadelphia. When he returned to Cincinnati the following year, Drake brought forces with the Medical College of Ohio. He served as professor of medical practice at the new Ohio-Miami Medical School, but a bitter rivalry between the two bodies simmered barely below the surface. Dr. Drake dream of leading a great medical center in Cincinnati was unfulfilled.
The two bodies, the Miami and Ohio Medical Schools, were finally merged under the sponsorship of the University of Cincinnati when construction of Cincinnati General Hospital was completed in 1914.

The practice of nursing, however, was not a systematic field of study in the unsanitary, stressful conditions - and for very little pay.
The concept of training young people to be hospital nurses gradually gained acceptance after Florence Nightingale's well-publicized service during the Civil War, women of the middle social class. In the closing decades of the nineteenth century, the need for professionally trained nurses in Cincinnati became pronounced as the city expanded while the level of its hospital service deteriorated and its morbidity and mortality rates increased. In the late 1880s, seven prominent women met with Dr. Mary Osborn to discuss the creation of "a school to train women of the middle class" to become nurses. The group, known thereafter as the Society of the Training School for Nurses, included Mrs. John A. Gano, Mrs. Fredrich G. Huntington, Miss Wooley. Annie Laws served as chair and devoted considerable time and talent to development of the school.
The trustees of Cincinnati Hospital were approached about starting an independent school to be based at the school on the Bellvue Training School in New York, which had been founded on principles of the Florence prominent citizens, William A. Procter and Maria Longworth Storer. The society gained permission to take admitted at intervals during the year so that a total of eleven students comprised the first graduating class in year students were sent outside the hospital to homes of the sick, thereby laying the foundation for future but even late in the nineteenth century hospital work was considered too dangerous and unseemly for young Nightingale School of Nursing.

Matters were made worse by newspaper articles in The Cincinnati Post unfavorable toward the superintendent and critical of a fundraising charity ball in support of the school - an event at which alcohol was served.
In 1893 the sponsoring society reluctantly admitted defeat in its efforts to maintain an independent training school and withdrew from establish a training school for nurses under its auspices. In 1893 they appointed Miss Olive Fisher, the former care at no cost to the hospital. It was well known that Cincinnati Hospital was overcrowded and services were barely adequate; patients were sometimes placed on mattresses on the floor because all the beds were filled. In Fagen, who had also been trained by Fisher at the Cincinnati Hospital Training School, succeeded Miss Ellison By this time, the dream of making Cincinnati a great medical center was coming to fruition.

She left that position to assume the directorship of the School of Nursing and Health of Cincinnati General Hospital in 1914 upon assurance that an accredited university school of nursing would soon be established there. Indeed, in 1916 the School of Nursing and Health of Cincinnati General Hospital became an academic school in the College of Medicine of the University of Cincinnati. It offered a three year diploma course and a five year Bachelor of addition to the three-year professional training course. The University of Cincinnati was among the first colleges in the United States to offer such a program.

Founded in 1788 as a trading center and military outpost, it was the third settlement in the land that became Ohio when statehood was conferred in 1803. In that year 1000 people lived in the city. The river gave Cincinnati a unique physical character and bestowed transportation and commercial advantages.

People and goods moved easily nineteenth century, trade went in both directions. Throughout the first half of the nineteenth century, the country and sent many soldiers to the Union army. However, due to proximity to the South, many rebel quarter of the nineteenth century and first quarter of the twentieth century saw a steady growth in population. By 1920 the city had a population of 401,247.
These years of expansion were characterized by the development of business and industry, government and law, medicine, higher education, art and music. Cultural institutions such as colleges, museums, and the symphony flourished. Hospitals, orphanages and homes for indigents were sponsored by churches and by charitable institutions created for specific social purposes. One such institution was Cincinnati Hospital, which made a major move into new facilities in 1914 and adopted a new name, Cincinnati General Hospital. A prominent feature of the building complex was a building to house living quarters and classrooms for nurses in training. The residence/classroom building, named Logan Hall forty years after its first occupancy, is the subject of this survey. The relationship between the nursing program and the hospital was very close.
It became even stronger when the University of Cincinnati assumed authority in 1916. Logan Hall was designed to provide residential and class space for nursing students. At this time it was unusual for classrooms to be incorporated into feeling of home, landscaping around the building was designed to resemble a suburban setting, interiors were of Logan Hall. The nursing students had to spend many hours daily in labs, clinics and wards, often returning on the roof offered open air seating. These design features contributed to the progressive concept of from east to west and thence south.

CINCINNATI ROAD CLASSIFICATION ITEM 3 Honorable Historic Conservation Board March 14, 2005 Cincinnati, Ohio SUBJECT: NATIONAL REGISTER NOMINATION GENERAL HOSPITAL NURSES' HOME / LOGAN HALL, CENTRAL CLINIC 311 ALBERT SABIN WAY CINCINNATI, HAMILTON COUNTY, OHIO Background: Bruce E. Goetzman has begun the formal process to nominate the General Hospital Home in three areas: architecture, health/medicine, and social history. It argues that the building merits nomination to the National Register under Criterion C as a fine example of the work of Samuel Hannaford and Sons, a notable Cincinnati architectural firm and under Criterion A for its association with advances in nurses' training and education.
The Registration Form states: The General Hospital Nurses' Home...occupies an important role in Cincinnati's medical history.

The Registration Form presents strong documentation in support of the conclusion that the General Hospital Nurses' Home and the program, now the College of Nursing and Health, remains one of the foremost nursing schools in the United States. In addition, General Hospital Nurses' Home is one of two remaining nurses' homes connected to an historic hospital in Cincinnati. Bethesda Hospital remodeled its nurses' home for offices; the nurses' residences at Good Samaritan, Christ, Jewish, and Childrens' Hospitals have been demolished The Registration Form also asserts the eligibility of the General Hospital Nurses' Home under Criterion C.
Under this criterion a property must embody distinctive characteristics of a type, period, significant and distinguishable entity whose components lack individual distinction. As written currently, the nomination presents a number of intriguing facts but not a compelling argument for eligibility under Criterion C. systematic field of academic/clinical study for nursing in Cincinnati and the nation.
