In February 1886, work began on the Northern Pacific Railroad's Stampede Pass Tunnel through the Cascade Mountains. At the east portal worksite, workers built barracks, supply buildings, the engineers' headquarters and a hospital. The hospital was staffed by a Dr. Morrison, who lived there with his family during the building of the tunnel.
