The Willard Building was built in 1924. It is the only intact example of Georgian Revival architecture in the business district. In 1934, a group of doctors from Longview Memorial Hospital broke away from the hospital to set up a new hospital, the 20-bed Longview General Hospital on the second floor of the Willard Building. Longview General Hospital was renamed Cowlitz General Hospital in June 1935 and moved to the old railroad depot at the east end of Broadway. The Willard Building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 5, 1985.
