Description:

View of the Simpson Memorial Institute for Medical Research at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan, designed by Albert Kahn and completed in 1926.

"Today, the institute is home to the Center for the History of Medicine, part of the Department of Internal Medicine and the Historical Center for the Health Services.
