Fitzsimons General Hospital, Neuropsychiatric Ward, Southeast Corner of East Nineteenth Avenue & Wheeling Street (formerly South Van Valzuh Street), Aurora, Adams County, CO

Significance: It was constructed ca. 1942, as Fitzsimons Army Hospital expanded to fulfill its WWII mission. Soon after its completion, the building housed a neuropsychiatric wad to accommodate Fitxsimons' diversification away from tuberculosis care and toward more generalized care. In 1962, the Army used the building for administrative purposes. The building experienced a number of renovations to accommodate subsequent changes in its use, but continued to support the mission of the hospital.
