Beacon Hill has three great buildings: the extension of Cleveland High School designed by Mahlum Architects (it rightly won AIA’s 2008 Honor Awards for Washington Architecture), the 16-story bulk of Art Deco called Pacific Medical Center, and this magnificence…
The VA Hospital is so huge that it floats. The best place to see it is two blocks south of Fou Lee Market, on Beacon Hill Avenue (I will have more to say about this avenue in the near future). The building was made for just that distance.
