Summary
Significance: It was part of the early 1950s expansion of the U.S. Veterans Hospital, Jefferson Barracks, to accommodate veterans of WWII and the Korean War, and to convert the medical center into a specialized psychiatric treatment facility. It replaced Boiler House No. 1 (Building No. 5), which was built in 1923 and was the original boiler house for the hospital. Boiler House No. 2 has continued to serve as the heating plant for the medical center since its completion in 1952, and the interior retains original boiler and electrical equipment.
