Notes
  • Significance: The National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers (NHDVS) was a federal institution authorized by Congress in 1865 and charged with caring for Civil War veterans disabled by their military service. The Mountain Branch in Johnson City, Tennessee was built between 1901 and 1905 as the ninth branch of the NHDVS. During the 1920s, the Mountain Branch temporarily became the National Sanatorium, a facility primarily dedicated to the rehabilitation of young veterans of World War I who suffered from tuberculosis. By 1930 the system had eleven branches and became part of the new Veterans Administration.

The Duplex Quarters are the only surviving structures at the Mountain Home from the National Sanatorium period. Building No. 40 was one of five duplex quarters (Buildings No. 39 through 43) added to the campus in 1921 to house the newly enlarged medical staff. Assistant Surgeons and their families were assigned one side of the two-story, Colonial Revival dwellings. Currently one side of Building No. 40 is used as an office by the local chapter of the American Federation of Government Employees labor union and the other is vacant and undergoing renovation.
