When the U.S. Veterans' Bureau was created three years later, the hospital became part of that system, and part of the Veterans' Administration (VA) when it was organized and replaced the Bureau in 1930. New frame Colonial Revival and stucco Georgian Revival buildings were built for the Oteen Veteran's Administration Hospital from 1924 to 1932, replacing the previous wooden hospital buildings. The Asheville Citizen-Times remarked on this construction with a headline on September 10, 1928, that read "Oteen Growing Beautiful With New Buildings." According to Colonel Henry Hoagland, he suggested the name Oteen as it was an American Indian word meaning "chief aim" and it was the chief aim of every patient to get well. The hospital's primary focus was the treatment of tuberculosis, and it was the only VA hospital in the southeast devoted to the treatment of respiratory ailments.  Media Coverage A few historical pictures from the Asheville Preservation Society: https://www.facebo...03258722624&type=1  Future Plans Both buildings have been renovated.  Stories Add your own story  Photo Galleries First time in.
