From the Rush Medical College Annual Announcement, 1872-1873:
"The destruction of the recently erected magnificent College building in the Great Conflagration, was regarded as an unmitigated loss, and preparations were at once commenced to re-erect a new structure upon the old site, as was announced in a previous circular. But the action of the Cook County Commissioners in determining to permanently locate the County Hospital, which has heretofore occupied leased ground, has influenced the Trustees of Rush College to postpone the erection of a permanent building till another year in order to move with the County Hospital to its new location."
