Significance: Transformer Room No. 62 (Building 62) is significant for its association with the west campus of St. Elizabeths. The transformer room, constructed in 1957, replaced an extant and antiquated transformer room. It was part of the larger centralized power and electrical system for the campus. The transformer room housed electrical transformers and was a sub-station between the Power House (Building 56/57), to the northwest, and a cluster of early twentieth-century patient ward buildings, to the southeast.
