CLINIC AND DIAGNOSTIC CENTRE FOR WELLAND

[The Welland Tribune and Telegraph, 28 June 1921]

The establishment in Welland of a clinic and diagnostic centre is an enterprise upon which Dr. W.K. Colbeck has embarked.

He has let a contract to J.H. Gardner to erect an adequate building and work began yesterday. It will be located on Division Street between the Bell Telephone building and the Doctor’s residence with a frontage of 34 feet and a depth of 100 feet two stories high. The plans drawn by N.A. Kearns architect specify Milton tapestry brick and Queenston cut stone.

The first floor will be tar concrete under Portland cement concrete and finish in linotle, a floor both sound proof and stamp proof. The first floor trim will be mahogany, and the second floor in chestnut.

The lower floor is arranged in waiting rooms, and departments for Mecano and hydro therapy, X-ray and laboratory, the same as those now only found in a few of the larger hospitals.

Doctor Colbeck’s aim is to establish a clinic and diagnostic centre complete to the last word.

With him will be associated a couple of physicians, as well as X-ray technicians and nurses specially trained in message, baths, etc.
