Notes |
The winning design by New York architect Joseph H. Freedlander incorporated the latest ideas of comprehensive design and Neoclassicism as taught by the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris. Freedlander created a hierarchy of communal buildings, barracks, and service functions arranged along a central avenue with views south to the nearby mountains. Smaller scale support buildings such as the Morgue were located on secondary axes. Located just north of the hospital, the French Renaissance Revival Morgue is finely detailed and a complementary part of the designed campus ensemble. Architect J. H. Freedlander lavished ornamentation on this small free-standing structure, giving dignity to its function. Inside it housed an autopsy theater to the rear of the building and small chapel in the front. Deceased patients could be discreetly transported via a tunnel from the hospital to the Morgue. The Morgue serves as a link between the Mountain Branch and the adjacent National Cemetery, where veterans could chose to be buried and continued to receive respectful care.
