The Mohave County Hospital was an important building in Kingman, Mohave County, Arizona. It served as the main hospital for the area for many years. This historic building was located on Beale Street, between Grand View and First Street.
Building the Hospital
The hospital building was designed by the Santa Fe Railway Engineering Department. They used a style called Spanish Colonial Revival. This style often includes features like stucco walls, red tile roofs, and arches.
Construction of the hospital happened between 1921 and 1922. A contractor named J. B. Lammers from Flagstaff oversaw the building work. Over the years, more parts were added to the hospital. New sections were built in the 1940s and again in 1962.
A New Purpose
The Mohave County General Hospital was the main hospital in Mohave County. It helped many people in the community. In 1970, a brand new hospital was built, and the services moved there.
After the hospital moved, the old building found a new use. Different county departments began to move into the empty space. The last group to use the building was the Mohave County Sheriff's Office. They moved there from the old courthouse.

This register lists buildings, sites, and objects that are important in American history. The hospital's special number on the list was 86001165.
The Hospital's End
Even though it was a historic building, the Mohave County Hospital was eventually taken down. The building was demolished in 2008.
