Battle Mountain Sanitarium, Hospital and National Treasure in Hot Springs, United States
The Battle Mountain Sanitarium consists of structures built with pink sandstone, featuring a circular central building with radiating wings on a 68-acre campus.
Established in 1902 and opened in 1907, the sanitarium provided medical treatment to Civil War veterans suffering from respiratory and musculoskeletal conditions.
The facility represents a shift in veteran care from residential support to specialized medical treatment, particularly focusing on tuberculosis patients after World War I.
Located at 500 North Fifth Street, the sanitarium maintains its original function as part of the VA Black Hills Health Care System serving veterans.
The complex incorporates Mission Revival and Romanesque architectural styles, designed by Thomas Rogers Kimball with landscapes by George Kessler.
