Originally, the grounds of the National Naval Medical Center was a rural farm with a small pond fed by a natural spring. The picture to the right is the original spring house located on the property. the pool and the tiny stream reminded the President of the biblical Pool of Bethesda (see picture below) in Jerusalem (John V.2). "Bethesda" means "House of Mercy." Between 12/7/38 and 1/30/39 a total of eight parcels were purchased by the U.S. Government for a total of 266.421 acres. National Naval Medical Center deeded 24.01 acres to NCP & PC in 1942 leaving the current acreage of 242.38.
