In 1920 Hirsch Hall, the first perma- nent nurses' residence, was erected. This building was made possible by gifts from loseph Hirsch and Charles Currier and funds' provided by the City of Atlanta. This edifice not only provided comfortable and convenient living accommodations for the students and graduate nurse personnel, but afforded modern and well equipped classrooms, E It I I 'i ,.- ,, -1- .-fr 9 I.. . , J lf, f f , ,pa r W7 Mi S adequate library, and labo- ratories for the school. In 1942 when the hsopital received an appeal from the U.S. Public Health Service to provide large numbers of graduate nurses to serve the country's military needs, the hospital was unable to meet the demand because of a lack of residence facilities for additional students. The federal government pro- vided the necessary funds for a new building, which was designed to accommo- date 122 students. The build- ing, completed August 5, 1944, was designated as Fee- beck Hall in honor of Miss Annie Bess Feebeck.
