General Description
The entire eastern portion of the hospital complex is defined by the Pipes Building. The small foundation planting beds and deciduous trees in the immediately surrounding lawns do little to detract from the massive Postwar-era structure. These plantings date outside the period of significance and are, therefore, recommended as non-contributing.
