Toronto Power Generating Station, Niagara Falls. Designed by E.J. Lennox in the Beaux-Arts style, completed 1906. Currently abandoned while the Niagara Parks Commission considers what use the building will be put to.

The harnessing of the Niagara River’s power for hydro electricity ushered in a new era, it’s a palace of technology really.

Great result !
Lovely house. Great to see architecture from this era preserved, Modernist is so often viewed as disposable.
Looks like a portacabin.

Any ideas on the dining set? Looks full Memphis potato, but I’m no expert.
A bit odd with granny’s dresser in another room.
Anyhow, here’s a water treatment works

Prepare yourselves for a post-modernism comeback. Seeing it in the journals already, will spread its way north from the London elite.
My least favourite movement, personal taste and all that. James Stirling being the exception.

That house would end up costing me £5m.
