Notes |
The Center Building group was sited to offer views of Washington, D.C., as part of the overall landscape planning for the campus. The north-south axis of the original central wing of the Center Building group, which does not correspond to orthogonal compass points, established the axis for most of the nineteenth-century buildings at St. Elizabeths. The Center Building group formed the core of the campus during its initial period of development. The Center Building group is also significant for its architectural design. The building as it evolved from 1853 through the onset of the Civil War exemplified the innovative echelon plan, as developed by Superintendent Charles Nichols and architect Thomas U. Walter; this plan was a variation of the Kirkbride plan that became widely adopted in the second half of the nineteenth century. The detailing of the masonry facades incorporates Gothic Revival stylistic elements that were popular in the mid-nineteenth century, including masonry buttresses and towers, cast iron window hoods, wood window sash with narrow divided lights, rusticated masonry bands, and a crenellated parapet wall. The brick units used in construction of the building were reportedly manufactured on the site. A railway system ran through the basement of the Center Building and adjacent free-standing buildings. Originally, the railway system allowed for the quick transport of food from the bakery and kitchen as well as supplies between buildings. The building was also technologically innovative; the 1859 Annual Report described the heating system, which was an early example of central heating and ventilating for a building of this size.
