tice of medicine in Chattanooga
where he organized and de
veloped the Tepper Clinic, a
hospital for the treatment of
children. Active in many phases
of civic and communal affairs,
he has assumed a leading role
in this undertaking to help “give
the people of Chattanooga the
kind of Center facilities that are
so urgently needed.”
“Our present facilities are out
moded and grossly inadequate,”
he said. “If the members of the
Jewish community here are to
be able to hold up their heads
in this city they must provide
a Community Center where a
proper and meaningful program
can be conducted. Our new
building will prove of great
benefit to the entire city, Jew
and non-Jew alike."
The proposed building, de
signed by Selmon T. Franklin
& Associates, noted southern
architects, will occupy four
acres of a 28 acre site in Brain-
erd, one of Chattanooga’s outly
ing district. Another seven acres
of the property has been set
aside for development as a Day
Camp. The building program
also includes the construction of
a large size outdoor swimming
pool and a parking area for 168
cars. It will be readily access
ible from the new Federal high
way being located at the junc
tion of the New York-New Or-
leans-Chicago gnd Miami routes
now under construction, as well
as from Brainerd, McBrien and
Spring Creek Roads.
The building will be of fire
proof construction, faced with
masonry and panels and will
enclose 33,000 square feet. It
will house a gymnasium, an audi
torium, a dining hall—meeting
room, several club rooms, youth
activities wing, lounges as well
as administrative offices. Open
ing of construction is contem
plated for the early summer of
1960.
