1920s Power Plant

100 year old coal plant, used to be much larger but they tore down most of the turbine hall a while ago when it was still in operation. Did this one before I got my license and while coming back from Colorado, so I had to ride my bike there from my hotel the next town over at like 4 am to get there before sunrise and get in unseen by the active plant 50 feet away from this one. Had an unplanned emergency bathroom break in the bushes as the sun was coming up and had to walk through a river to get there, but was otherwise a chill explore with a very peaceful sunrise gas station breakfast on the roof.

1. The last section of the nice windows from old turbine hall, the white wall on the left is just an insulated tarp sort of thing where they stopped the demolition


2.


3. Mossy turbine


4. An underwhelming turbine hall initially, but the longer I was there the more I liked it. Still hard to shoot and make look nice tho


5.


6.


7.


8.


9. Definitely a more aesthetic turbine hall from the outside, especially with the nice windows being above the end of the hall hidden away.


10. The boiler house however had very nice windows. Strangely, the newer seeming one had the windows while the old one didn't have any

11. Curvy pipes


12.


13.


14.


15.


16. Top of the newer boiler


17. Top of the old boiler. Beautiful ironwork in the old sections, but this was the only place with natural light


18. Some more of the nice windows from the demolished section hidden above the turbine hall


Thanks for looking

Really awesome set. I have a funny story about my visit here. I'll share it when the statute of limitations runs out.
