Abstract
The St. Elizabeths West Campus
cemetery is an exceptionally historic resource for
the District of Columbia, and especially for the
hospital grounds. In fact, the cemetery is a
portion of the grounds listed on the National
Register of Historic Places. Over the years the West
Campus cemetery has failed to receive the care
and attention that it both deserves and requires.
As a result of these years of deferred
maintenance, a number of issues - many of them
critical and costly - require the immediate
attention of the GSA.
This report evaluates these needs.
