Notes
  • Significance: This hospital was built in 1879, inaugurating a period of expansion for the Northwestern Branch of the National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers. Originally hospital facilities were located in a modest brick structure built in 1867 (now demolished). Expansion of the membership, more emphasis on medical care for veterans, and a shift away from the centralized model resulted in the construction of a number of specialized new buildings. The hospital was the first in a series of new Soldiers' Home buildings designed by prominent Milwaukee architect Henry C. Koch. Koch's firm was the architect for many buildings during this period of expansion including Ward Memorial Hall (1881), several barracks, the chapel (1889) and the headquarters building and the library (1891).
