boilerhouses

Industrial heating plant structures

Buildings that contain boilers for generating steam or hot water, typically for heating or industrial processes.

In older usage, boilerhouses were common features of factories, hospitals, and large institutional complexes, housing the equipment that powered heating systems or machinery.

The term is straightforward: a house for boilers.
