Introduction

Golden Gate National Recreation Area

Park Description

Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA), a unit of the National Park Service, was established by an Act of Congress on October 27, 1972. The 80,000-acre park encompasses a great diversity of cultural and natural resources in and around the Bay Area of San Francisco, California.  It includes Muir Woods National Monument and Fort Point National Historic Site.

The park holds almost five million three-dimensional and documentary artifacts dating from the time before European contact to the present.  They are preserved and maintained for the public by the Division of Cultural Resources and Museum Management, which includes the Park Archives and Records Center (PARC). 

Park Archives and Records Center (PARC)

Historical Note

GGNRA and the sites within it have been collecting records since their inception. The PARC was established in 1994 to receive records and archival collections from the U.S. Army and the Presidio Army Museum after the closure of the Presidio of San Francisco as an Army base. The collections continue to grow through the donation of materials by private individuals, transfer of inactive park records by staff, and acquisition of relevant documentary materials.

Scope of Collections

The archival collections in the custody of the GGNRA document the history and activity of the various sites and groups associated with the park, described in the park’s Scope of Collection Statement (2009). 

The PARC contains U.S. Army and National Park Service facility records for the Presidio of San Francisco, forts and coast defense sites in the area, and various GGNRA sites.  Subjects and sites documented include the United States Army (Bear Flag Revolt, Civil War, Spanish-American War, Mexican War, World War I, Army Air Service, Coast Artillery, Army medical facilities and issues, World War II, Army support during natural disasters, Viet Nam War, and Operation Desert Storm); Alcatraz Island (Army fortress, Army Disciplinary Barracks, U.S. Penitentiary, and Indian Occupation); the natural resources conservation movement resulting in the establishment of Muir Woods National Monument; agriculture in the Marin Headlands; Point Reyes Peninsula and Bolinas Lagoon areas; U.S. Lifesaving/Coast Guard Services; San Francisco Earthquake and Fire of 1906; Panama Pacific International Exposition of 1915; natural resources and environmental issues; and preservation of open space in the Bay Area.  Also included in the PARC are many of the GGNRA administrative records that document the development and expansion of this park.

Visiting the PARC for Research

The PARC is located in an historic brick building, formerly a cavalry stable, on the Presidio of San Francisco.  Collections and archives support services are available for walk-in research during open hours or by appointment.  Please contact the PARC (see below) for the current schedule of reference hours.

Copy Services 

Black and white photocopy services for standard and oversize materials are available on-site.  Color photocopying, photographic duplication, and duplication of other media are available by special arrangement.  Researchers are charged for all duplicates on a cost-recovery basis.

Rights and Publications

Copies are provided under the Fair Use provisions of the Copyright Law (Title 17, U.S.C.).  Researchers must complete a Permission to Publish Contract form with the Park Archivist for any other intended use of these materials (such as publication or exhibit).  Researchers should consult with staff regarding their needs for commercial or public use of materials.  
Legal Status of Holdings

Many holdings of the PARC were acquired/transferred prior to the establishment of the archives program, and have little documentation on their provenance (source/chain of custody).  All materials received after 1994 have been accessioned and documented.  If provenance cannot be determined, the PARC assumes that it owns the property rights, but does not own the copyright. Staff will provide assistance, but it is the responsibility of the researcher to acquire permission from the copyright holder to cite, quote, or reproduce collection materials.

Collections developed by or for government organizations or operations are in the public domain and may be used, cited, and quoted without restriction, provided they are properly credited to the PARC.  The archives contain no national security classified materials.

Donations to the Collections

The PARC welcomes donations of a variety of historic materials that meet the criteria in the Scope of Collections Statement and do not duplicate existing holdings. Collections are maintained for research use in perpetuity; there is no guarantee that items will be exhibited.  If you own materials that may be relevant to the themes of GGNRA and would like to deposit them in the PARC, please consult with an archivist.

III. U.S. Marine (Public Health Service) Hospital Historical Note 
 
Structural History
Construction of the original San Francisco Marine Hospital built on the present site was begun in 1874 and completed in 1875. Since that time the hospital has undergone several remodeling and extension contracts.  The largest construction projects occurred during the periods from 1930 to 1932 and 1950 to 1953.  In 1932 the wooden hospital buildings were demolished, making way for a new reinforced concrete six-story hospital building (Thompson, 1997, p.813). Although no structures remain from the 1875 Marine Hospital, four buildings erected between 1915 and 1920 have survived, the oldest buildings on the site today (Thompson, p.813). These four structures, buildings 1806, 1807, 1809, and 1810 were used as two garages for senior attendants and two officers’ quarters respectively.  In 1952 two seven-story wings were added to the front of the hospital building, further altering its exterior appearance (Thompson, p.814).  The hospital did not go through any other major structural changes or additions after 1952 until its final closure in 1981. 

Legislative History
The Marine Hospital has its origins in the passage of an Act of Congress on July 16, 1798, signed by President John Adams.  This act authorized hospitals for the care of sick and disabled American merchant seamen, and established a Marine Hospital Fund (Jensen, 1997, para.1). The responsibilities of the service broadened over the years and its name was changed in 1902 to represent these expanded services (Parascandola, 1998, p. 4).  The 1902 law that changed the name of the Service also led to increased cooperation between federal and state public health authorities (Parascandola, p. 4).  The name became the Public Health and Marine Hospital Service in 1902, and in 1912 increasing involvement of the Service in public health activities led to its name being changed again to the Public Health Service Hospital (PHSH) (Parascandola, p. 5). 

The U.S. Public Health Service (USPHS) had been part of the Department of the Treasury from 1798 to 1939 and then a part of the Federal Security Agency (FSA) from 1939 to 1953.  Under the New Deal the USPHS became more involved in the broader health concerns of the nation (Parascandola, p. 8). The Social Security Act of 1935 provided the Public Health Service with the funds and the authority to build a system of state and local health departments, an activity that it had already been doing on an informal basis (Parascandola, p.8).  In 1939, President Franklin D. Roosevelt created the FSA, which brought together the Federal programs concerned with health and social welfare, including the USPHS (Lord, para. 2).  In 1953, the FSA was abolished and the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (DHEW) was created. The Public Health Service Hospitals were then regulated by DHEW. 

 In 1955 the scope and activities were expanded again.  USPHS did assume more responsibilities due to this reorganization.  For example, the USPHS became responsible for the health of the American Indians in 1955, and authority was transferred to the Bureau of Indian Affairs (Parascandola, p. 11).  Also, in 1956 the Armed Forces Medical Library became the National Library of Medicine and was made a part of the USPHS (Parascandola, p. 11).  In 1980, the Department of Education was created as a separate entity, and the DHEW was renamed the Department of Health and Human Services (Lord, para. 3).  Today the USPHS remains part of that department.  

Hospital Closure 
In 1970 the DHEW proposed to reduce the activities of the Public Health Service.  The San Francisco hospital was set to close in July of 1973 (Thompson, p.815). Closure was prolonged due to the protests of the AFL-CIO Seafarer’s International Union (Thompson, p.815).  Although hospital occupancy had significantly declined the hospital managed to stay open until the federal government announced its closure in 1981. 

In 1981, as a part of the Reagan administration’s budget cuts the last of the Public Health Service Hospitals and clinics were closed, therefore the San Francisco Marine/Public Health Service Hospital was officially shut down. After the hospital closure several proposals were considered to make use of the vacant building.  One proposal not implemented was to offer a 10-year lease of the hospital to the City and County of San Francisco for the treatment of AIDS patients (Thompson, p.816).  The Letterman Army Medical Center proposed to use the space for War Reserve stock storage, but this was not implemented either (Thompson, p.816). According to letters of correspondence found in box 4 folder 8 of this collection, the Chinese-American International School (CAIS) occupied part of the north hospital wing in building 1801, and used additional space in buildings 1803, and 1805 in the year 1989. The CAIS leased for a 24 month period, and vacated the hospital after the lease was completed. The Defense Language Institute (DLI) also leased space at the hospital during the 1980s.  The Public Health Service Hospital buildings remained empty after the lessee’s vacated the premises in the late 1980s.  

 U.S. Marine Hospital Cemetery   
There is a nearly forgotten cemetery bordering the Public Health Service Hospital grounds, near 15th Avenue and Lake Street.  Merchant seamen were buried there until 1912, or for about 31 years (Nolte, 2006).  In March of 1896 the San Francisco Call newspaper ran an article describing the Marine Hospital cemetery, “Strange as it may appear, this burial ground has at least 200 hardy fellows under its sod, the men who came from all quarters of the globe to the port of San Francisco and never sailed away again through the Golden Gate.” (“Where Jack is at Rest”, 1896)   The cemetery was covered with 10 feet of landfill in the 1930s (San Francisco Cemeteries, n.d. para.36).  The Works Progress Administration (WPA) constructed a parking lot and tennis courts covering part of the cemetery in 1933.  By the time of the 1952 hospital construction and extension the entire cemetery was covered with debris and landfill (San Francisco Cemeteries, para.36). 
 
When the hospital closed in 1981 the Army took over the Public Health Service Hospital lands.  After the transfer the Army discovered that the cemetery was referred to as Landfill 8 in records (Nolte, 2006). Landfill 8 is further described in the “Summary of Environmental Remediation” published by the Presidio Trust in March 2003. Landfill 8 is described as being “28,000 cubic yards of soil and construction debris underlain by the former Marine Hospital Cemetery where the remains of hundreds of deceased merchant seamen are believed to be buried.  The landfill is covered by an asphalt parking lot, soil and tennis courts, and the cemetery is believed to be below the fill material at a depth of about 9 to 10 feet, although graves may be shallower and intermingled with fill in places” (Summary of Environmental Remediation: Public Health Service Hospital District, 2003).  It is not known in detail how many graves remain at the old cemetery.  In 1993 Sannie Osborn, an Army Corps of Engineers archeologist, conducted a small excavation and discovered two coffins in the area proving that some of the graves remained (S. Osborn, personal communication, June 6, 2008). Currently there are no plans to exhume the bodies,  and the Presidio Trust has discussed developing the area for public viewing by placing signs of interpretation that explain the Marine Hospital cemetery site (Nolte, 2006).

V. Scope and Content
The U.S. Public Health Service Hospital Collection is comprised of historic files, administrative files, project files, photographs, graphics, negatives, and oversized materials. The oversized materials include the building plans.  The historic files contain letters of correspondence, contracts, and building condition notes and legislation concerning the construction of the early U.S. Marine Hospital.  Vendor catalogs and manuals provide an historical visual context with design and equipment materials that were used at the Marine Hospital in the past, or were under possible consideration. 

The administrative and project files are a considerable portion of this collection. The media is paper and photographs. The administrative files are documentation of the business activities and decisions made by the Public Health Service Hospital management.  Administrative files are arranged by function and then chronologically.  Project files are arranged together by project numbers and then chronologically.  The project files include building condition notes, specification details and vendor submittals.  Oversized building plans from these project files were moved and incorporated with the plans drawers.     

Photographs of the expansive hospital construction in 1952 reside in this collection.  There are also photographs of other U.S. Marine hospitals across America.  The negatives are of the U.S. Public Health Service Hospital during the 1950s and consist primarily of the hospital grounds and the surrounding buildings.  Positive prints have not yet been made. 
     
The oversized material of the U.S. Public Health Service Hospital collection consists of building plans housed in 65 folders in 20 flat file drawers and three flat file boxes.  Subjects include general site maps, topographic surveys, and aerial photos of the area.  The building plans are of the 1800 area at the Presidio of San Francisco.   The vast majority of documents were created by various architects and consulting engineers.  Most of the plans in the collection are originals.  Duplicates were weeded out, except for plans that contained annotations.  Three flat boxes contain mounted color renderings of the hospital, which are dated 1928-1931.  

The drawings’ dates span the period 1874 - 1991. Media include linens, blueprints, films, diazo prints, tissue tracings, and photocopies.  The plans include architectural, mechanical, electrical, and structural drawings, utilities, parking areas, construction submittals (plans and materials that need to be approved before installation), fire alarm systems, demolition plans, and many other miscellaneous details. 

Drawings are arranged by set and then chronologically.  The building plans are in order of the chronological phases of the hospital, exemplifying its change and progression. A cross referencing list, arranged by building number is found after the oversized container listing on page 30.  Dates and building numbers are identified at the beginning of the folders description.  If a folder is part of a set then the date will only be identified in the very first folder of the set. The number of folders in a set will be declared in the first folder’s description.

  ii. Negatives 1950s
      The negatives depict the Public Health Service Hospital in the 1950s.  Most of the 
      negatives are shots of the hospital grounds and of the surrounding hospital buildings. 
      The main hospital building (1801) is only in the background of the shots.  Positive 
      prints have not yet been made.  

E. Oversized materials 

i. U.S. Marine Hospital building plans, mounted renderings and site maps 1874-1931.	
     Folders 1-8

These plans represent the old Marine Hospital before the current hospital was erected. The first structure built was completed in 1875, and none of the wooden structures from this period remain standing today. Only four buildings survive from the early period of 1915-1920:  1806, 1807, 1809, and 1810.  This series represents the old Marine Hospital before the 1902 name change to Public Health and Marine Hospital Service, which later changed again to the Public Health Service Hospital in 1912.   There are plans leading up to the erection of the current hospital.  There are many land surveys and general site maps included with sets.  Other general maps, surveys, and site plans can be found in the first two folders.  Folders seven and eight also contain some drawings that are from the time of the construction of the current hospital, therefore overlapping with the following series. Located separately from the collection are three boxes of mounted renderings, created during the time period of 1928-1931.        

ii. U.S. Public Health Service Hospital building extension plans 1932-1960’s. 
Folders 9-36
After the erection of the current hospital the Public Health Service Hospital continued to grow.  This phase represents the next growth period for the hospital. During this period two seven story wings were added in 1952.  Some new buildings were added:  1805, the Recreation Center; 1808, the Nurse’s Quarters; 1812-1815, a four duplex Officer’s Quarters; 1818 -1819, Laboratories; 1828, Meter House; and 1803, Recreation Bunker. The plans and drawings in this series represents this more active time period of the hospital.  Folders 15-26 hold a twelve-folder set which documents the extensive growth of this period.  Appendix 2 provides an additional summary of the twelve folder set.   

iii. U.S. Public Health Service Hospital building additions and demolitions 1970’s-1996. 
Folders 37-65
During the 1970s the hospital occupancy declined. Although the hospital was leading up to closure there were many remodeling plans. As-Builts and other miscellaneous alterations can be found in this series.  Some demolition plans from this period are found. Buildings 1817, 1820, 1822, 1823, and 1827 demolition plans are found in folder 57.  Even after the closure of the hospital alterations were still being made.  The Defense Language Institute used some of the structures, and a Chinese-American International School occupied part of buildings 1801, 1803, and 1805.  The main hospital was also used to film a Warner Brothers production of “Final Analysis” in 1991.  Folders 61 - 65 is a four folder set which contains demolition and set up plans of the hazardous materials abatement for the hospital.
