So far I only have a couple of power stations to my name in the US - although hopefully that tally increases come April. This one is a little corker, and pretty far off the well trodden trail.
This power station was once the source of power to a large mill complex situated across the river. Production in the mill closed down in the late 1960s but staff were retained on site in offices and other duties until the late 1980s, with the mill then mostly demolished in 2006. Demolition of the mill also included demolition of the power station chimney, some remains of which can be seen scattered all over the floor in one part of the building.
This is a beautiful litle industrial gem almost completely unchanged since it was built in the late 1800s, and apart from a bit of the expected graffiti it has remained largely undisturbed quietly rusting away by itself in the middle of some woods for nearly three decades. This explore was the starting point for an utterly crazy long weekend exploring in three different cities in three different states.
Thanks for looking
