Power Arch:
Designed by Standford White, the arch was the main entrance to the Adams Power Plant. The power house was part of the world's first large scale power plant to produce alternating electric current. Built in 1895, the building was 450 feet by 100 feet. The only remaining structures of the power plant are this arch and the transformer house. The arch was moved to Goal Island and was dedicated in 1967. |
