About Walter Reed Army Medical Center - DCMilitary.com

Main Installation
The main campus of Walter Reed is in a residential area of
northwest Washington between Rock Creek Park and Georgia
Avenue near the Maryland-D.C. boundary. All patient-care
activities, as well as most administrative services, are on the
main installation.
Walter Reed's grounds and architecture impress visitors.
More than a thousand trees lead past colorful gardens. During
the summer months, roses bloom in the Rose Garden next to
Abrams Hall, barracks for Warriors in Transition.
Most of the original buildings at Walter Reed are brick
structures of Georgian Revival architecture set among wide
lawns, winding roads and gardens. Before the opening of the
current hospital building (the Heaton Pavilion Bldg. 2, ), only
two temporary buildings and the Armed Forces Institute of
Pathology departed from the early American theme. But the
main medical center building and Abrams Hall are modern in
design and concept.
In the circle of the Hoff Memorial Fountain at the originalhospital
entrance, Bldg. 1, a collection of flowers varies with
the season.
The stately Memorial Chapel, dedicated in 1931, joins the
hospital chapel in providing for the religious needs of all faiths
at Walter Reed.
