description

Summary

For an overview of the Systems and Infrastructure Buildings, see HABS DC-349-CD
Significance: As a mid-twentieth-century utilitarian structure, the Pumping Station (Building 16) is not directly related to the historically significant function of the St. Elizabeths West Campus as a place for the treatment of mental illness. However, the Pumping Station is associated with the historically significant physical development of the west campus. In addition, the Pumping Station exemplifies the provision of service and support structures that allowed for the partial self-sufficiency of the campus.
