Summary
| Description |
In the National Archives, RG112-AH-34-1 The hospital complex's earliest buildings dated from 1933-1936. The most prominent was Building 1, a 15-story, Art Deco-style tower faced with yellow brick and brown terra cotta. The dark brown vertical elements in the historic photo were solariums on each floor. Under the Base Realignment and Closure Act of 1988, the Philadelphia Naval Hospital was slated for closure and disposal. All functions were relocated from the complex in 1993. It was finally demolished on 9 June 2001. ( For a look at the demolition see here.) The City of Philadelphia expressed interest in obtaining the parcel and prepared a proposed reuse plan for the property. This plan, which called for demolition of all structures on the site, was predicated on a belief that the historic buildings could not be economically reused and was developed before the property was formally determined eligible for the National Register. The former hospital location is currently an overflow parking lot for the nearby baseball and football stadiums. |
