U.S. Veterans Hospital, Jefferson Barracks, Dining Hall, Virginia Medical Center, Jefferson Barracks Division 1 Jefferson Barracks Drive, Saint Louis, Independent City, MO

Significance: It was built in 1937 as part of New Deal-era improvements to the U.S. Veterans Hospital, Jefferson Barracks. The building provided additional dining facilities for the hospital and allowed for the dining and kitchen facilities in the Main Hospital (Building No. 1) to be removed and renovated into space for medical records and a dental clinic. The Dining Hall continued to be used for that purpose through the early 1990s but was later converted to a prosthetic clinic, with maintenance shops on the lower level.
