The Fort Moultrie Military Reservation spanned over 300 acres in 1903. It had expanded well beyond the walls of the old brick fort and entered the modern era of coast artillery when it added eight gun batteries and supporting facilities, including the station hospital in 1902.

With a 48-bed capacity, the hospital served the medical needs of service members, their families, and on occasion, provided emergency medical care to island residents. For Moultrie was decommissioned in 1947 and the hospital was demolished in the early 1950s.
