Notes |
Mix's design for the new Soldiers' Home building was a Victorian Gothic pile with a tall central tower and large flanking wings, prominently placed on a ridge looking east toward the city. Originally intended to be a multipurpose structure housing living quarters, mess hall, kitchen, chapel, offices, and recreation facilities, the Main Building was almost immediately too small for the demands of veterans care, in spite of its impressive size. The end towers, a modification of those omitted during the original building campaign, were added in 1875-76 to expand the living space. Shortly thereafter, expansion of the Northwestern Branch focused on adding new purpose-built structures, including a hospital (1879), theater and home store (1881), chapel (1889), library (1891), and headquarters building with post office (1895). With many of these functions now removed from this structure, living quarters were expanded accordingly and the structure continued to function as a 'domiciliary' with bedrooms, mess hall, and common areas until the 1980s.
