The Power House, also called the Boiler House, took on a different function as the Lab grew, and the Station for Experimental Evolution was incorporated into the Biological Laboratory. Under the skilled direction of Jack Richards, Superintendent of the Buildings & Grounds Department, several old structures on the CSHL campus were saved and adapted for new uses. In 1970, the Power House was renovated to provide ground floor storage space for the Buildings & Grounds and the Plumbing Departments. With the addition of skylights on the second floor, the building housed the headquarters of Mr. Richards’ growing Facilities Department.
