Hospital Reservation Historic District

The Hospital Reservation Historic District is located between Radio Station and Officers Row Historic Districts and east of the Marine Reservation Historic District of the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Washington, United States. Established in 1909, it reached its maximum development in 1942. The following structures no longer remain:

  1. ‘"Main Hospital Building"’ (1911,1924): a Neo-Classical, two story with basement brick complex.
  2. "’Recreation building"’ (1920): two story vernacular wood frame structure with basement; to the west was a yard cemetery, which was relocated to the Presidio in San Francisco, California.
  3. "’Navy Female Nurse Corps Quarters"’ (1921) was a two-story wood frame structure.
  4. "’Three Isolation Buildings"’ (1915) were located of the main hospital. Along with other buildings constructed here, all but one isolation building were eventually connected to the main hospital building.

The existing six buildings in the district were the quarters for the Commanding Officer of the Naval Hospital Reservation, the dormitory for the hospital corpsmen, the sick officers quarters, quarters for the medical corps and two separate quarters for pharmacists. These set in a suburban setting of lawn and shrubs with adjacent parking lots. Five of the six buildings are brick construction in a Georgian Revival style. Quarters W (Facility #646) is a wood frame with Neo-Classical influences. The Hospital Reservation Historic District has three non-contributing structures, the utility building for the hospital (Facility #437, 1936), has been significantly altered and the two quarters buildings (#885 and #942) are post World War II.
