This is the original plant or power house at Lower Bonnigton Falls. "One" plant was demolished and rebuilt in 1923. The structures in the foreground have U-934, U-935 Imperials on them. You can see the M-4321 on the structures that lead upstream to "Two" plant. The waterfalls upstream are the Upper Bonnington Falls in which "Two" plant was built. My guess is that the photo was taken in about 1905. The plant upstream just underway and the 60KV lines already started. |
