The Western Health Reform Institute was founded on this site in 1866. It is best known, however, under the name it assumed in 1876, The Battle Creek Sanitarium. It operated as a health resort under the ownership of W.K. Kellogg, as portrayed in the novel "The Road to Wellville". The current main building was constructed in 1903, after a fire destroyed the previous complex. It was designed by Frank Mills Andrews in the Italian Renaissance style. The tower at the south end was added in 1928, just before the Wall Street Crash sent the resort into economic failure.
It was taken over by the government in WWII for use as the Percy Jones Army Hospital. Later it was converted to offices and named the Battle Creek Federal Center. In 2003 it was renamed the Hart-Dole-Inouye Federal Center, in honor of three U.S. Senators who were patients there during World War II: Phillip Hart of Michigan, Robert Dole of Kansas, and Daniel Inouye of Hawaii.
The federal center currently houses a GSA property management office, the Defense Logistics Information Service (DLIS), the Defense Reutilization and Marketing Service (DRMS), and the Defense Logistics Agency Systems Integration Office (DSIO-J), among others.
