History

[edit]

Tripler Hospital was established in 1907, housed in several wooden structures withinFort Shafter on the island ofOʻahu.^[7] In 1920 it was named after a legendaryAmerican Civil War surgeon,Brevet Brigadier General Charles Stuart Tripler (1806–1866), who made significant contributions to the development of military medicine.^[7]^[8]

Tripler Army Medical Center was commissioned byLt. General Robert C. Richardson Jr., who wasMilitary Governor of theTerritory of Hawaiʻi during World War II.^[9] General Richardson hired theNew York City based architectural firm ofYork & Sawyer to design the medical complex. The local landscape architect Robert O. Thompson designed the landscape to be "one of the great beauty spots of Hawaii", although his plans were never fully realized.^[10]^[11] At the outbreak ofWorld War II, Tripler Army Medical Center had a 450-bed capacity which then expanded to 1,000 beds through the addition of barracks-type buildings.

Plans for the new Tripler Army Medical Center on Moanalua Ridge were drawn in 1942 and construction was completed in 1948.^[7] TheGeneral Bronze Corporation, known forNew York City's Mies van der Rohe-designedSeagram Building,^[12]^[13] theAtlas^[14] andPrometheus^[14]bronze sculptures inRockefeller Center, the bronze doors for theUnited States Supreme Court andCommerce buildings,^[15] the aluminum windows for theUnited Nations Secretariat,^[16]^[17]^[18]Chase Manhattan Bank,^[19]^[20] fabricated the aluminum windows for the Tripler Army Base Hospital^[21]
