I should take a picture and post it one day. <BR/><BR/>The military is currently building a new Walter Reed National Medical Center on the grounds of the Bethesda Naval Medical Center up in Maryland and is slated to open in 2011. <BR/><BR/>What will happen with this prime piece of real estate and its buildings is anyone's guess. I'm hoping some insightful private developers with a knack for historic preservation will pick it up and turn it into live/work spaces with some retail. More than likely, though, they'll tear it all down and put in a bunch of condos and a Wal-Mart.Janet Kincaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01396294382570650966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2229381101096636687.post-7818721866573396542008-03-25T14:23:00.000+01:002008-03-25T14:23:00.000+01:00I don't believe I've ever seen a hospital with suc...I don't believe I've ever seen a hospital with such architectural character.
