Building 54 was built in 1953 and dedicated by President Eisenhower on May 26, 1955, during the cold war. Designed to survive an atomic blast, it served as the final home of the AFIP for 54 years.

Who wrote this? Who proof read this? it should say FOUNDED in 1862, as the Army Medical Museum, and moved to this location in the 1950s during the cold war, this is the last home of AFIP.

"Built in 1862, it is the first and only building in the U.S. that was designed to survive a hydrogen bomb." REALLY?! they built a building in 1862 that was built to survive a HYDROGEN BOMB ?!

One of the first American institutions dedicated to military reasearch. Built in 1862, it is the first and only building in the U.S. that was designed to survive a hydrogen bomb.
