Notes
  • Original documentation listed this structure as being in Tacoma, WA. It is actually in Fort Lewis, WA.
  • Significance: Madigan General Hospital is a well-preserved example of the semi-permanent emergency hospital plan type, Mobilization General Hospital Type A, developed by the War Department and constructed for emergency purposes during the later part of WWII. Completed in August 1944, Madigan General Hospital is the only one of twelve hospitals of this type to have continued to serve as a military hospital beyond 1951. It continued to provide extensive medical services, as constructed, adapted, expanded, and modernized until 1992, when the new Madigan Army Medical Center was completed.
  • Survey number: HABS WA-202
  • Building/structure dates: 1944 Initial Construction
