Jeremy Green “SteamPunk Powerhouse” 3/28/23

A relic of Austin’s quaint past, back when the place was actually small, is the old power plant. It’s such a well-built and lovely art deco structure that no one had the heart to tear it down when it outlived it’s usefulness. It’s been dusted off and polished to its former shiny steam punk grandeur and is a centerpiece of an urban center, although it no longer pumps out any power. There are details of the structure that have compelled me to make photographs. It’s a bit of “Old Austin” as I call the sweet legacies of this city that have either survived the rampant growth or have faded away.
