Description
Photograph of the exterior of an electric plant, August 1927. A large stone building sits in the center with long rectangular windows on both visible sides. The front half of the building seems lighter than the back half to the left. The outline of the bricks are visible while transmission lines sit on top of the roof. To the left, a tall transmission tower can be seen behind the building.
