National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers, Central Branch, Personnel Quarters, 4100 West Third Street, Dayton, Montgomery County, OH

Significance: Built as female nurses quarters in 1906, this structure was adjacent to the original hospital, which burned down in 1942. Now known as the Personnel Quarters, this residence is a good example of the Adam Revival style identified by the pedimented projecting center bay, modillioned cornice, quoins, and keystoned windows with six-over-six sash. Also typical of the style are the prominent entrances featuring flat-roofed porches, fanlights and sidelights. A large addition made in the 1930s was one of a number of Depression-era projects undertaken at the facility. The Personnel Quarters represents a shift in architecture at the Soldiers' National Home from wood-frame French Second Empire, High Victorian Gothic, and Queen Anne structures to more permanent brick buildings in classically based styles.
