Significance: This group of buildings served senior medical personnel and the director of the hospital as housing until the early 1980s. The building form a historic district with the original hospital buildings to the west, and are arranged around a courtyard aligned with the axis of the hospital. There are five residential buildings and three garages in the quarters area. They are significant for their use as on-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.
