Significant Project History
Organized by Congress in 1855 as the
Government Hospital for the Insane,
the institution that would become a
nationally recognized symbol of
healthcare and medical
breakthroughs became known as St
Elizabeths during the Civil War.
1860s
Following its 19th century use for
to an era of architectural integrity and building skills from
generations past.
St. Elizabeths East invites a mixed-use development that
simultaneously serves nearby communities, nearby federal
office tenants, and the pent-up local demand for retail,
residential, and office/educational uses - all enhanced by
substantial District of Columbia investment and planning
to support the surrounding neighborhoods and
infrastructure of this incomparable campus.
agricultural purposes, the East Campus
became home to a first group of
buildings in 1902. The buildings referred
to as the Richardson Group or the 1902
Buildings, were part of the largest
expansion in the history of both
campuses.
