Hotel de Paris (Hospital B) and Hotel de Paris Annex (officers' quarters)

Diagonally across the street from the Providence, on the opposite corner, was the four-story Hotel de Paris, with a bed capacity of 200, and back of, and adjoining it, was a somewhat smaller three-story building, the Providence Annex, accommodating about 125 beds.

[Hitz, p. 49]

Two hotel buildings constituted the surgical section. The larger hotel, Hospital A, familiarly known as the Cosmopolitain, with a capacity of approximately 900 beds, received the grande blesse or seriously wounded patients. The smaller hotel, the Paris, known officially as Hospital B, with a capacity of 275 beds, received the petite blesse or those whose wounds were regarded as of minor significance.
