Powerhouse

PETE

I WAS THEIR TODAY WITH MY SON. THE STRUCTURE IS AMAZING. WE LOOKED INSIDE BUT WE DID NOT WALK IN. THE BUILDING IS IN BAD SHAPE. I WOULD LOVE TO FILM A MOVIE. OR A DOCUMENTARY.

lots OF SECURITY. WE WERE ASKED NICELY TO LEAVE. THE OFFICER SAID WE COULD LOOK AT IT FROM THE ROAD ALL WE WANTED BUT TO GO ON THE PROPERTY.

Turbine Hall

This facility must've had an updated generator system, maybe? The concrete structure in the middle of the deck is not present in the 1906 picture. I've seen a similar concrete setup supporting a huge steam engine in the midwest. Anyway, it's a great picture.

Be advised. Penetration very dangerous and risky. Don't leave your car anywhere on the grounds unless it's hidden very well.

Interlocking

Pete

My money's on the chapel theory. the windows are brightly lit so maybe south facing? This would make the stage (alter end) at the east, where most catholic alters are oriented. also it seems like two rows of pendant lights that would have been above two rows of pews.

Exterior

I used to live just up the hill from this place and would stare at it every morning waiting for the train. Beautiful photos, and it's great to finally see what's inside these buildings.

Center Stage

I grew up in Granby and my mother worked for a company affiliated with BSS.I remember playing on that stage during a tour when I was 5 years old in 1976. In the 80's we would go to the school on Haloween and freak ourselves out. Dumb kids
