The panel in the front is the bench board where the control switches are (the operator initiated the control actions from here). The panel in the background is the vertical board which had the meters & other indicators on it where the operator could monitor the results of the actions (most of the indicators have been removed the shadow lines where they were can be seen) . Both are 1920's vintage and are probably made from slate.

Sure looks that way huh? Perhaps the missing parts are in another area? It would seem that repairs had not been ruled out at one point huh? I would think these condensor units that had been dismantled were a major factor in the decision to close this plant. Wotta awesome place!
