This vast hospital complex was constructed shortly after the outbreak of the
War at what was then called "western terminus of Cary Street." It was on land
now east of the present municipal-owned William Byrd Park (which was then the
training grounds known as Camp Jackson) with an annex in the park area to the
south of the present Fountain lake and to the east of the Reservoir. The
hospital's boundaries would be the present City streets of Winder, Amelia, and
Hampton Streets, and Allen Avenue. To the north of Winder Hospital was Jackson

the Command of Dr. Major Chambliss that saw active duty in the battles of 1865.
