Additional Description

Abstract

United States Army General Hospital No. 3 was a World War I hospital that holds historical significance for military and medical history. An archaeological investigation conducted on this site discovered structural and artifactual remains from the hospital despite the heavy residential construction that has occurred there since the hospital was demolished. The artifacts found reflect multiple aspects of the hospital’s operations, including physical and mental rehabilitation. Given the integrity of the General Hospital No. 3 site, additional studies of the site are recommended. It is also recommended that the local community continue to be involved in any future studies.
