Summary
Significance: Erected ca. 1941, Building 10 documents Naval Hospital Philadelphia's pre-World War II planning and its rapid expansion immediately following the United States' entry into the war in late 1941. The building and its adjoining wards, Buildings 11 and 12, are significant as representatives of the utilitarian structures erected at the Hospital during the early 1940s to accommodate the expected surge in patient loads.
