Notes
  • Significance: The Power House (Building 56/57) served important support functions for the west campus throughout its history of use. It is significant for its association with the development of campus-wide infrastructure to support the west campus of St. Elizabeths. The Power House is a significant part of the campus plan as it developed in the early part of the twentieth century. The building is representative of the intended self-sufficiency of the campus at that time.

The Power House is significant for its architectural design, as an example of a distinctive industrial building with Italian Renaissance Revival-inspired design elements on the St. Elizabeths campus. The building is also of interest architecturally for its character-defining masonry construction, brick smokestacks, open interior plan, and associated railroad trestle. With its two smokestacks, the Power House is one of the most visible components of the west campus.
