While first observed by the Coast & Geodetic Survey in 1949, the hospital was built in at least five stages from 1908 to 1953. The boiler house and its smokestack were built in 1945 or 1946, one of the final additions to the hospital complex. The 110 foot tall stack, on the southeast side of the boiler house, is at the far southeast end of the complex.
