Built in 1909, Cottage #2 is one of three cottages located on the south side of the grounds west of the Oregon State Hospital's
Kirkbride Building. It is adjacent to "
Cottage #1," which is also known as the Superintendent's House, and "
Cottage #28. The cottages were originally built as staff residences. They now provide transitional housing for hospital patients preparing to return to life outside the hospital. Most of the cottages were renumbered as part of the Oregon State Hospital Project - this one is now designated as "R02."
Note to visitors: as there is no physical barrier between the cottage and the rest of the grounds, please be respectful of the residents and keep at a reasonable distance.
