Knoxville Veterans Administration Hospital Historic District
Knoxville Veterans Administration Hospital Historic District, Veterans medical complex in Knoxville, Iowa.
The Knoxville Veterans Administration Hospital Historic District features multiple Neoclassical buildings designed by architect William Foster across a 152-acre property.
Established in 1892 as an Institute for the Blind, the facility transformed into a Veterans Affairs Hospital after World War I and expanded to 1,631 beds.
This medical district represents the evolution of veterans healthcare facilities in the United States through its architectural elements and medical service adaptations.
The district now incorporates Veterans Park, which contains over two dozen mature trees and connects to an extensive trail system linking recreational areas.
The cemetery within the former VA golf course contains 40 plots, marking the initial development of this significant medical complex.
