While the most stunning power plants were built almost a century ago, the majority retained nice features until the 1950s. This facility was built in 1948 and checked most of the boxes. The turbine hall and boiler house were lined with beige tiles. Block windows throughout the building lit up the plant's most important features. A single central control room monitored and managed all of the key components including turbines, boilers and auxiliaries. Two Westinghouse turbo generators, installed in 1948 and 1949, are lined down the turbine room. Each unit was capable of sending 40,000kW to the grid and steam was delivered to the turbines via four coal-fired boilers.

The power plant was shut down in 2002 and sat completely untouched for almost 20 years until demolition began in 2019. The property was sold to a scrap team and it was slowly rid of all its character until the building was torn down brick by brick.

Here's some digital photographs I captured at this location over the last few years.

Great set!

Not sure what's better tho. These photos, or an empty field.




Joking aside. It's tragic seeing awesome places disappear.

Great set man.

Was a really good one.

Excellent industrial set and a wonderful power plant! I really like photos ten and eleven.

Oh man that's wonderful.

Great pics! Love the B&W's ... i dont know why you dont have more likes, but i showed my appreciation

These are really nice. Sad to see it go
