...finished in 1959 for $1,600,000. Architect Joseph L. Eldredge thinks that it cost 7% less than a rectangular one of the same area, partly because there is less outside wall area and partly because plumbing, heating, ventilation and electrical conduits can be better concentrated in a central core. Patients' rooms are shaped like pie slices. Nurses like walking its circular corridors: "It's a kind of optical illusion-we can't see that long hallway stretching ahead."

The satellite units will have a centrally located core containing health services, a common dining room, and recreational center. With FHA support, the United Church figures that people with as little as $1,800 a year income can afford to live in United Church projects. The first one is scheduled for Vermilion, a resort town some 35 miles from...
