About this property

The Veterans Administration Hospital is a historic hospital building in the Avenues neighborhood of Salt Lake City, Utah, which has been repurposed as condominiums. Opened in 1932, the hospital was part of the Veterans Administration (VA) system. In 1952, another VA hospital—today known as the George E. Wahlen VA Medical Center—opened in the city. Both hospitals continued to operate concurrently until 1962, when the functions of the 1932 hospital were moved to the newer complex. In 1964, the building was sold to Zions Securities Corporation and was used for a variety of purposes, including as the Primary Children's Hospital Annex and the BYU Salt Lake Center. In 1995, the hospital building was sold to developers who remodeled it into the Meridien Condos. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.
