This building seems to maintain it's dignity despite the years.

They sure knew how to build things back then. Even industrial plants had a grandeur look to them.

It's true - it does look very grand, you wouldn't guess it was a hydro plant.

Love the title. It does look like the ferny bushes are dusted with a touch of snow.

If I saw a just this photo and did not know what this building was I would mistake it for a Government Building like a courthouse or a City Hall. Such wonderful grandeur in this building it's amazing.

More than a power plant, this was obviously meant as a showcase for the new age of electrical power. Being on a famous waterway, I imagine the idea was to wow the residents with the beautiful building to enhance acceptance by the public. Interesting to see the General Electric equipment designed around the Tesla Polyphase System, (used to this day), which was something that Edison desperately tried to kill in every dastardly way possible.
