The Morris Memorial Hospital for Crippled Children, also known as Morris Memorial Nursing Home, is a historic hospital building located in Milton, Cabell County, West Virginia. It was constructed in 1936 by the Works Progress Administration as a hospital for children with polio. The building is made of limestone and has a modified "U"-shaped design, with a two-story central section and "Y"-shaped wings. The central section features a domed and louvered cupola and a two-story portico. There is also a "T"-shaped wing used as a school and a boiler house attached to the school wing. The hospital closed in 1960 and was later used as a nursing home until 2009. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.
