Steampunk Hydro Power Plant
In the early 20th century a paper mill was built. A small hydroelectric power plant with two turbines was added to provide power. The paper mill and power plant were active until the 1950’s.
The power plant has a beautiful control panel made of (what looks like) marble plates with nicely decorated instruments. The back of the control panel has been gutted entirely but for the rest there were no traces of vandalism of any kind.
The paper mill is not active anymore, yet I believe there are still people living on the property and presumably using the old factory halls for storage. The mill didn’t look too abandoned and was closed off quite well. At the front they kept some animals and while I was inside the power plant a dog kept on barking. Luckily no-one came to have a look and within one hour I was gone, off to the next location.
