     History
    This is a sister station to the DP&L Longworth Steam Plant (aka "The Castle"). It, like Longworth, provided steam to buildings in the downtown Dayton area. I worked in a building downtown which received "city steam" until 1996 when we had to install boilers. I believe Longworth closed down in 1994 but this plant must have remained online a couple years longer.

     Future Plans
    This building is part of the vision for Dayton's newest mixed-use loft development. The historic Lotz Paper Building (next door) and the Third Street DP&L Steam Plant are being renovated for office, commercial, and residential lofts. The view from a townhouse loft into the courtyard will include a two story waterfall.
