As an outgrowth of the extensive hospital work done during the rebellion the Army Medical Museum was established. The act of April 7, 1866, authorized the purchase of the property in Washington City known as Ford's Theater, for the deposit and safekeeping of documentary papers relating to soldiers of the Army of the United States and of the Museum of the Medical and Surgical Department of the Army, and during the following year the property was bought for $88,000. This building was occupied by the Museum until the completion of the present Museum building, on the corner of Seventh and B streets southwest. In this Museum are collected and preserved pathological specimens representing nearly every disease and accident that occurred in the Army and Navy during the war. The Medical and Surgical History of the War and the Index Catalogue of the Library of the Surgeon-General's Office are monumental works.2

Several of the hospitals established during the war were continued for some time thereafter. The Kalorama Hospital was open to citizens of the District on payment of $1.50 a day, and St. Aloysius Hospital

Ford bought it to use as a theater. He rebuilt it after the fire of 1863. As a theater, it was the most popular place of amusement in Washington up to April 14, 1865, when President Lincoln was assassinated there.
