The Western Branch of the National Home for Disabled Soldiers was established in 1885 in Leavenworth, Kansas to house aging veterans of the American Civil War. The campus (formerly ) is near Fort Leavenworth, and is directly adjacent to Leavenworth National Cemetery, south of Leavenworth town. The home features about 82 contributing building resources, constructed between the 1880s and the 1940s. It is now part of the Department of Veterans Affairs Eisenhower Medical Center. ==Site== Initial construction focused on barracks-style accommodations, ornamented with a bandstand and a lake. During the 1930s a new hospital complex was built, with more barracks and a nurse's residence. Landscape architect H.W.S. Cleveland laid out the site plan, using the north-south ridge as an organizing feature.. The Domiciliary Buildings are arranged perpendicular to the ridge, in a Georgian Colonial Revival style. As the site developed, functions migrated south to the area of the 1930s hospital building. Service and residential areas were located to the east of the main complex.〔
