Morris Memorial Hospital for Crippled Children, also known as Morris Memorial Nursing Home, is a historic hospital building located at Milton, Cabell County, West Virginia. It was built in 1936 by the Works Progress Administration as a hospital for children with polio. The modified U-shaped limestone building consists of a two-story central section, flanked by 1+1⁄2-story, Y-shaped wings. The central section features a domed and louvered cupola and a two-story portico. It has a T-shaped wing used as a school and a boiler house attached to the school wing by a hyphen. The hospital closed in 1960. It was subsequently used as a nursing home until 2009.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.[1]
