Long time lurker, first time poster.. Thanks for the new gallery, Mister Motts. With this one and as with all of your galleries/visits, you continue to show commendable respect to the spaces of yesterday, and your usual talent shines for finding shots that make one feel something about a site, rather than simply see it. Thanks for letting us look through your eyes, and I look forward to your next postings.

This looks like leather faces

Well done, RedDragon!

One small thing of note tho - in actuality the steam would be vented around the tubes - the tubes would carry the cooling water.

Is it a boiler or a condenser below?

In a lot of typical power plant designs, there's a condenser under the turbine - steam is exhausted to the condenser, and the water is returned back to the boiler to be made to steam again....

720 is actually not all that hot for steam plants. When I was running marine plants, we commonly used superheated steam at 1200+ degrees...

Actually, Serrena, it looks to me like something that either fell or was put there. I've seen "hats" over gageboards before - but usually they kinda match and have lights in them.

But I'm just guessing :)

I have to say that I am constantly amazed by the design of some of these older industrial buildings. In a modern era where buildings are chrome, steel, concrete, and soulless - to see something as mundane as a power plant, with this much beautiful design is awesome. It's like a church of technology (albeit old, old technology).

Well done, as always!

this IS the view . I used to drive with my friends cuttin school to go see this place while it was active it was aAAAAAAAAAAA site tosee the old SIDE was party haven ANYBODY townsend road WHITEROAD RACING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
