Originally opened as the U.S. Marine Hospital, construction on the Greek Revival building began in 1838 in downtown Mobile, Ala., and was completed in 1842. Confederate and Union soldiers both were treated at the health center during the Civil War.
The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. The Board of Health moved in a year later. It has served as the main offices for the Mobile County Health Department since that time.
