English: The building shown was originally built to serve as a gym and cafeteria, and was completed in January 1965. Before it could be opened for use, all dependents of U.S. government personnel in Vietnam were evacuated from the country and the school was closed for good. Three months later, the property became the home of the U.S. Army's 3rd Field Hospital, remaining such until 1973. The site was turned over then to the Saigon Adventist Hospital. In 1975, it was abandoned when military forces of North Vietnam captured Saigon. Here it is shown in its current use, as the 7th Military Zone Museum, a unit of the Army Military Museum of the People's Army of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. It is located at street address 247 Hoang Van Thu near the international airport for Ho Chi Minh City.
