• Zwerdling-Darling Block, 1915, Ann Arbor District Library

The cornice of the Darling Block on the corner is embellished with delightful terra cotta ornamentation, an example of a typical Art Deco repetitive design motif. The brick "fireproof" structure was begun in 1915 for Dr. Darling with Malcomson, Higginbotham, and Palmer as its architect. L. D. Wines superintended construction. In 1917 Dr. Darling and Dr. Charles L. Washburne opened offices on the second floor for their private medical practices.

We’ve got deep roots in Southeast Michigan. Nearly 100 years ago, two Ann Arbor men, Dr. Cyrenus G. Darling, and Reverend E.D. Kelly, pastor of St. Thomas Church, recognized the need for community health care. They called on the Sisters of Mercy, a Catholic religious group in Dubuque, Iowa, to send some of their members to work with them in establishing a hospital.
