Fort McKavett Post Hospital

The Fort McKavett Post Hospital is a modification of the standard, two-2q4e military hospitals build after the Civil War. Completed about 1874, the hospital has only one ward room, offices, dispensary,, hospital steward quarters and a rear wing with a kitchen and dining room. Surgeons were kept busy treating the occasional gunshot wound, accidental injuries, and venereal diseases spawned in the nearby parasite settlement of Scabtown, and other common minor complaints, most the result of eating spoiled food.
