i agree motts this would make a great painting.

cool picture. looks like a monster.

am i the first one on this page for three years. whare is everybody.

this picture is beutiful. i want my windows to look like this.

Looks like the orginal four vertical axis steam turbines (thanks for the awesome 1906 shot!) were replaced with a more powerful horizontal steam turbine; which was mounted on the concrete pad in the foreground.

Georgetown Power Plant in Seattle is a museum now, and has a pair of these vertical axis steam turbines still in place, along with the boilers. Great phtographs; thanks.

Just visited the other day with some of my friends. We found a TV that was turned on and we saw the silhouette of a man walk by an open doorway. We tried to speak with him but he didn't answer. We started freaking out so I lead them out (I had already explored the building) through this room and there were four beds in the middle of the room and a sound system set up all throughout the huge room. Eerie music was playing and we got scared and ran away. Later, while waiting for the train back to the city, we heard music blasting from the building, presumably from the sound system we had seen set up. I was wondering if anybody knew anything about this. Please help, my friends and I reaaaally want to know what was going on.

excellent

i just wonder how they made this shit actually work . its sooo intriguing

I would assume the old equipment was replaced at some point with a more up-to-date generating system, which would explain the seemingly out of place concrete block.

This facility must've had an updated generator system, maybe? The concrete structure in the middle of the deck is not present in the 1906 picture. I've seen a similar concrete setup supporting a huge steam engine in the midwest. Anyway, it's a great picture.

If one looks closely at the labels themselves, you can see that the original order was C-A-B.

Did Mulder do that????? Silly man

There's no way I would test those out!!!
