The hospital was located in wooden barracks in the St. Aloysius Church. When St. Aloysius General Hospital closed, its patients were sent to Stanton and Harewood hospitals. The barracks then became the hospital for Quarter Master Department employees.

The Catholic clergy felt that allowing the military to use the church itself would violate its sanctity.
