Major General Winfield Scott Hancock Statue, 7th St SW & 7th St NW, Washington, DC 20024, US

The Army Medical Museum and Library, located in Washington, D.C., was a historic landmark that housed a collection of medical and surgical items related to the treatment of Union Army wounded and sick during the American Civil War. Designed by architect Adolf Cluss, the building also served as the home of the Library of the Surgeon General's Office and the Army Medical School between 1893 and 1910. Established in 1887, the museum's collection grew over the years and was opened to civilian medical researchers in 1888. After the building's demolition in 1969, the collections were dispersed, with its principal successor being the National Museum of Health and Medicine in Silver Spring, Maryland.Generated from the website
