Otis Hospital in Celina, Ohio is a Prairie School architecture structure that reflects the distinctive design vocabulary of early twentieth-century American regionalism. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the building represents an important example of how the Prairie School aesthetic, pioneered by architects working in the Midwest, was adapted for institutional and medical purposes. The hospital's design demonstrates the movement's characteristic emphasis on horizontal lines, organic integration with the landscape, and rejection of historical ornament in favor of functional modernism.
