From the NRHP: "When it was completed in 1934, the SFVAMC consisted of twenty-one concrete buildings designed in the Art Deco style with Mayan inspired ornamentation. These buildings were clustered in the northern and eastern sections of the lushly landscaped campus in order to lessen the impact on the adjacent neighborhood, as well as to provide space for patient convalescence and recreation. Several major building campaigns since 1934 have dramatically altered the semi-pastoral character of the campus by adding over a dozen buildings whose design and locations do not support the design plan of the original campus. The large size of many of these new buildings, combined with their awkward siting and incompatible materials and design, have harmed the overall integrity of the original campus. In addition, many of the original 1934 buildings have been unsympathetically altered, particularly those that have received large additions. The boundaries of the historic district do not include most of the latter non-significant buildings. Seven non-contributing buildings are included within the historic district boundaries."
