Pine Camp Tuberculosis Hospital is a historic hospital complex located in Richmond, Virginia. Opened originally as the Pine Camp Home for Consumptives in 1910, over time the original structures were replaced with a two-story Central Building and a one-story, Bungalow-style Administration Building, both built in 1932.[2] Both buildings are constructed of structural tile covered with plaster. Also on the property is a contributing one-story, stuccoed masonry laundry and garage building (1922). After 1957 the property was converted for use as a recreation center.[3]

The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.
