Caledonian's seven-story structure subsequently became a "luxury rental with 120 units."[9]
History
editThe hospital's founder's[10] son, Donald G. C. Sinclair (c. 1905–1976), was the president and subsequently chairman of the board.[11][12]
By 1987, Brooklyn Caledonian's Caledonian Campus had a new wing, effectively doubling that location's size.[8] Funding was via loans that were backed by the Federal Housing Authority.[13]
