Allen Park Veterans Administration Hospital, Building No. 67, Southfield Expressway & Outer Drive, Allen Park, Wayne County, MI
Summary
Significance: Like Building 31 (Animal Research Building), to which it is attached, Building 67 demonstrates a shift in medicine from strictly patient treatment to medical research. The building represents a break in the use of the Georgian Revival style architecture that dominates the Allen Park campus. It more closely reflects contemporary architectural styles and its function as a hermetic laboratory facility.
