The Helford Building was originally dedicated in 1931 as the Philadelphia-Detroit-Rabinowita Building  though most new it as the Philadeilphia Building.  It once housed 24 patients and featured screened-in balconies or patios so patients could sit outside.  Over the years, the building served several purposes, including housing for physicians, nurses and physical therapists.
