Heating Plant
< The heating plant, built in 1940 or 1941, is a brick building that is located on the edge of the river bench. A one story building from the north, it extends down the side of the river bank, revealing a basement. Large, 20 paned windows extend almost fully from ground level to ceiling height, illuminating the interior. An enclosed entrance projects from the west side. The interior is a large open space taken up by the Home's boiler.
