James Walker Nursing School Quarters, also known as New Hanover County Dept. of Social Services Building, is a historic dormitory located at Wilmington, New Hanover County, North Carolina. The original was built in 1921, and is a four-story, brick veneered, reinforced concrete building with Colonial Revival and Classical Revival style design elements. Additions were made to the original building in 1926, 1937, 1945, and 1968. The building once featured two porticoes, but they were removed after 1966. The building functioned as the nurses quarters of the James Walker Nursing School until 1967 when the associated hospital closed. The Quarters is the only building surviving from this medical complex.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.[1]
