By September 1861, a hospital wing was added to care for sick and wounded troops. For four years, the Saloon operated through generous donations of food, clothing, and cash, later supplemented by admission fees to view the captured Confederate naval ram in 1863.

Invited in 1798 to join the celebrated scientific mission in place of Georges Cuvier, Savigny embarked on the journey at just twenty-one years of age.
