The camp was deactivated in 1946, and the Camp White Station Hospital was transformed into the VA Domiciliary in 1949. Many of the current buildings utilized in the campus were constructed during the Camp White era. As such, they are generally two (2) stories, long and linear in shape, and of hollow-clay tile wall construction with brick veneer exterior. 3. Project Scope.
