Building History

Originally, this wood-frame, one-story building was used as an infirmary for the US Naval Train Corps camp located at the University of Washington during World War I. It likely would have treated some affected by the "Spanish Flu" Pandemic of 1918-1919. The building was moved to a site to the west of Johnson Hall in 1920, and became reused as the university's Anatomy Laboratory.

After World War II, approximately 1948, the building became used as a the UW Meteorology Building. In the early 1960s, its title was renamed an Atmospheric Sciences Building, and int 1969, changed to "Johnson Annex A." (See Paul Ivester, University of Washington, Physical Plant Department, Index of Old Building Record Plans with Historical Summaries, [Seattle: University of Washington, Physical Plant Department, 1977], n.p.)
