Summary

Submitted photo by Clay Farrington. Pictured are scenes from a recent tour of historic Building One aboard Naval Medical Center Portsmouth. The original building opened in 1830 and is on the National Register of Historic Places. The building was designed by renowned architect John Haviland, who was also the architect for Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and the Missouri State Penitentiary among other notable structures. The tour brought the group to Building One’s 5th floor, where the original operating room and morgue was located; and to the basement which used to house coal, and perishable food in an era before electricity and refrigeration. The tour was conducted by Head Librarian, Jane Pellegrino. Naval Medical Center Portsmouth is the US Navy’s oldest continuously operating hospital, and is situated on the Portsmouth, Virginia waterfront across the Elizabeth River from the Hampton Roads Naval Museum.
