Recently a few of my friends decided to take a road trip up to the Northeast (we're from the DC area). Thanks to all the traffic is took about four hours to get there but my god was it worth it. When we first attempted to gain access we almost decided not to because we noticed security cameras kinda sorta facing the building. We ended up finding another way in with no (visible) cameras and made our entrance.
This power plant was originally constructed in the 1920s and it's primary use was to generate power for the northern part of the city. The power plant has a total of four large generators, a building to control where the power was distributed, and a large turbine hall. This power plant had the ability to boil up to 50,000 gallons of water per hour, which was eventually turned into power. Unfortunately, due to more efficient ways of producing power this plant was shut down permanently in the early 1980s.
Although this plant is abandoned, several high budget movies have used this location for scenes. Sorry but I'm not going to name drop the movies. I hope you enjoy the set!!

I believe that this is the building where they controlled where the power was distributed. Anyone have any knowledge on this?

I'm not really sure what this is. If I had to guess a water turbine? That's me in the photo btw.
