Fort Logan H. Roots
Fort Logan H. Roots (usually referred to simply as Fort Roots) is a military base located in North Little Rock, Arkansas, on a high promontory overlooking the Arkansas River. The land was traded to the Federal Government in 1892 in exchange for the property now known as MacArthur Park, in Little Rock, which had been a military arsenal since the 1830s when Arkansas was a territory. The base was named for Congressman Logan H. Roots in recognition for his work in the negotiations.
The 66th United States Congress transferred Fort Roots to the Public Health Service department on March 4, 1921, for conversion to a veterans hospital for neuropsychiatric disorders. On June 10, 1983, a newly constructed hospital building was dedicated on the existing property. The main hospital building was formally named the ''Eugene J. Towbin Healthcare Center'' in May 1996 in honor of Eugene J. Towbin, M.D., Ph.D., in recognition of his 40-year career at the VA Medical Center. The Center provides long-term, rehabilitative care for eligible veterans.
Although four of the existing hospital structures were demolished, Fort Roots (as the campus is still known) retained many of its original military buildings and an "parade ground" in the center of the original post. Many of the historic buildings flanking the former parade ground are listed in the National Register of Historic Places.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NRHP nomination for Fort Logan H. Roots )〕
