The "Steam Plant" 1914-18
 |
Phase I was constructed in 1914, a parallelogram in plan, approximately 90 feet deep,
100 feet long and 47 feet high (from street-level) containing four boilers, pumps, tanks,
and generation equipment. |
Piling construction for Phase 1, 1914. |
|
Above the boilers stood two steel stacks, rising 95 feet above the roof. Brick was
used on the north wall as fill-in material in anticipation of future expansion. (This
would be broken out to connect the phases together after each construction). |
