Dr. Fred Stone, Sr., Hospital
The Dr. Fred Stone, Sr., Hospital is a six-story brick structure in Oliver Springs, Tennessee, United States. Noted for its castle-like appearance and eccentric, unplanned design, the building was home to a one-doctor hospital operated by retired U.S. Army physician Fred Stone, Sr. (1887–1976) in the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s. Stone delivered over 5,000 babies while working at the hospital, and expanded the building room-by-room, floor-by-floor in his spare time.〔"Fact sheet" from the Dr. Fred Stone, Sr. exhibit, Museum of Appalachia, Norris, Tennessee. Exhibit created circa 1994. Information accessed 13 February 2010.〕 In 2006, the building was added to the National Register of Historic Places for its association with the region's medical services history, namely the transition from rural country doctors to modern hospitals.〔
The grandson of a noted Claiborne County doctor, Stone spent his teen years drifting around the country before returning to East Tennessee to obtain his medical degree in 1916. Stone served as an American medical aide to the British Army during World War I, and in 1918 was awarded the British Military Cross. After travelling around the world, he returned to East Tennessee, where in the early 1940s he worked as an examiner for new Manhattan Project employees at Oak Ridge.〔 In 1943, Stone purchased what was then a simple two-story building in Oliver Springs for use as a hospital, and spent the next three decades expanding it, adding multiple stories, hidden corridors, marble terraces, and a six-story central observation tower.〔 In 1999, the building and its environs appeared in the film, ''October Sky''.
