Adams Power Plant Transformer House - Niagara Falls NY - Hydroelectric Power Stations on Waymarking.com

Adams Power Plant Transformer House in Niagara Falls, New York is a National Historic Landmarked building constructed in 1895. It is the only remaining structure that was part of the historic Edward Dean Adams Power Plant, the first large-scale, alternating current electric generating plant in the world, built in 1895.

The Niagara Power Station No. 1, as it was then called, would eventually generate 50,000 horsepower (37 MW) of electricity. There were 10 generator rated 5,000 horsepower (3.7 MW) of the outside revolving field, vertical shaft type.

The original Westinghouse generators remained in operation in the transformer house until the plant closed in 1961,[3] having been replaced by the Robert Moses Niagara Power Plant and the Lewiston Pump-Generating Plant.
