Significance: The four identical duplex quarters buildings, a single family home and three garage buildings form the quarters area. These buildings are arranged in a U-shape around a grassy courtyard that follows the axis of a large three-building complex to the west. This complex served as the original building for the hospital and formed an intact historic district with the quarters area. The buildings are significant for their use as one-site housing for senior medical staff, following a former policy of the Department of Veterans Affairs. They are also significant as part of an early boom period in standardized veteran hospital construction.
