Only the shadow knows? I'll make a layman's guess. I don't see the facilities for a burner or the entrance for a fuel, nor does it seem to be insulated like a boiler. Plus, it's proximity directly under the turbine would make a boiler location create a living hell in that area. I vote condensor, and a very massive and cool assembly!

I agree that the end plate missing indicates an insepction took place. Givin the facilities age, level of efficiency, and cost to replace or repair such a massive assembly, a closure was likely suggested.

Fantastic photos, thanks Motts! I wish I could see too, I'm jealous! :o)

You bethca Bill! Look at all the nice hand grips on those, yikes! With the plant in operation for all those years, it makes me wonder how many got careless and got popped? Owwww!

Very wonderful to see this plant intact, a wonderful piece of history. I'm surprised it has not been raided and stripped, there's a fortune in copper in this photo! (Shhhh!) :o)

It looks like an industrial cathedral... with those below its heights worshiping the efficency of once was modernity.

Im amazed that this place hasnt been battered, if this where in my area, although it may be abit of a shame i wud have been in their painting it every day.

Just a thing... if the place is from 1915, couldn't be neoclassical. Iron+glass... it will be art decó, or something like this, I think. Just this ^^

reminds me of Edward Burtynsky's work

simply great!!! pure ecstasy!
I loved that tour!!!

it looks like a koala holding on to a tree! ( no I am not currently on any crazy pills and yes I do see a therapist regularly)

It's the Mainsteam going to the Generator/Turbine.I like Behemoth better.

Where's Homer Simpson?

what a terifying view

This is a heating radiator. There must have been a reactor nearby. In a power station, the reactors (electrical) were typically to limit fault current.

This is a thermometer that was proabbly connected to a set of thermocouples. The switch would let the operator read either the throttle temperature (where the steam enters the turbine) ot the 5th stage temperature (at the 5th set of blades in the turbine) where they may have extracted steam for feedwater heating.

I like the rust running down, it gives it such a surreal look, like the machine is bleeding!

JUST THINK ABOUT IT, SPOOKY!!!!!!!!!!!!
