Description
General Description
This one-story brick hyphen was one of two constructed to link the Mess Hall (Building 57) with the Forwood (Building 55) and the old LaGarde Building (demolished 1992, replaced by the present LaGarde Building). With the construction of these corridors, architect Alfred H. Granger enclosed the Colonial Revival-style hospital campus along the east side, creating a more unified and intimate setting as part of his Comprehensive Plan for the Home. Only a portion of the north corridor survives, while the south corridor is fully intact. Building 58 is part of the King Health Center (KHC).
