Thanks for the info on the company. Industrial history has always fascinated me -- and your knowledge is much appreciated. Judging by the size of the building, I guess a 50-ton tracked crane would have been necessary for maintenance and repair of the generators and turbines.

Back in its prime, this must have been a beautiful place indeed, with the steam turbines and generators purring away. And like most powerhouses, I'll bet it was spotlessly clean.

Right. The individual furnaces would have been connected by pipes which would have drawn the smoke and heat to the central stacks. Otherwise, each furnace would have had to have its own individual smoke stack. This is an excellent serie of photos. Many thanks.

Yeah, Motts, you really called this shot. A long dead and forgotten god from another life plane. You could easily imagine this thing come stumbling toward you, wheels slowly turning and joints creaking. Brrrrr!

This looks like a photo from the 1950's or something. Very classic, simple, but effective.

This place is incredible. Awesome gallery! I wish my city still had places like this. I think im going to have to do some traveling. I must visit this place. It reminds me of a warehouse that we once had here in Toronto. Thanks for sharing Motts.

If you take a second to look at this picture it's actually quite amusing. The light bulb has long since stopped working and now there is a hole in the roof with light pouring through it, as if to mock those who put the light fixture in there, or to take its place.
