Description
The Camp White Station Hospital Administration Building (Building 200) is located in White City, Jackson County, Oregon, at the Department of Veterans Affairs Southern Oregon Rehabilitation Center and Clinics. Built in 1942 to house hospital administration associated with the development of US Army Camp George A. White, the Administration Building is a two-story, masonry structure prominently located within the original gridded system of connected buildings that were built as part of the Camp White development. Modified for use by the Department of Veterans Affairs following post-World War II conversion of the station hospital into the Veterans Administration (VA) Domiciliary at White City in 1949, the Administration Building largely continues its original office/administration functions and retains substantial integrity with respect to its original design. The Camp White Station Hospital Administration Building is strongly associated with the history and development of Camp White in southern Oregon during the World War II era and the subsequent development of the Veterans Affairs Domiciliary, White City, both significant events in the history of Jackson County, Oregon. The Administration Building qualifies for listing on the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion A, for its association with the history of Camp White and the VA Domiciliary between 1942 and 1949. National Register of Historic Places (Listed, 2016) This image is included in Building Oregon: Architecture of Oregon and the Pacific Northwest, a digital collection which provides documentation about the architectural heritage of the Pacific Northwest.
