- Significance: Built in 1904 during the Interim Period of construction at Fort Bliss (1900-1912), Building 1 is significant as the post's second hospital and later as the headquarters building. The hospital served as the principal medical facility used to treat casualties of the various engagements and campaigns against hostile Mexican forces between 1911-1919 and was also a treatment facility for sick and wounded troops returning from Europe during WWI. The building is also significant as a good example of early 20th century military architecture.
