Summary
Significance: HABS/HAER Inventory card prepared in November 1985 identified Fort Lewis Post Hospital (Building 4290) as a Category III historic property and a contributing property within the Fort Lewis Historic District. Fort Lewis is significant as one of a small number of military posts constructed during the Army's first major peacetime program of permanent construction. The architecture and site plan of the Fort Lewis Historic District represent and environment created over a twelve-year period from 1927 to 1939, that implicitly conveys the values of Army at that time. The district also represents an important period in the development of Fort Lewis.
