Portsmouth Naval Hospital, Medical Officer's Quarters C, West side Williamson Drive, 400 feet South of Rixey Drive, Portsmouth, Portsmouth, Virginia

Significance: Medical Officer's Quarters C, among the oldest structures in the hospital complex, is historically and architecturally significant owing to its continuous use as an officer's residence for the Portsmouth Naval Hospital, and as an example of an early twentieth-century Georgian Revival-style residence which retains much of its original architectural integrity. Medical Officer's Quarters C was constructed in 1904-1906 as one of two almost identical Georgian Revival-style residences for junior medical officers, the other being Medical Officer's Quarters B (HABS No. VA-1287-E). Medical Officer's Quarters C is the northernmost of the two residences built in a row just northwest of "The Myrtles," the Italianate-style 1857 Medical Director's Quarters, also later designated Medical Officer's Quarters A (demolished in 1956 for the construction of the 1960 Hospital).
