Notes
  • Significance: This was the first central hydroelectric generating station in Columbus. From 1887-1906 it produced most of the electricity used for street, commercial and residential lighting, and for small power needs. It was a typical early low head development. The plant is interesting because of its early construction and the important service it provided. The equipment was dismantled in 1951, and shortly afterward the structure burned. The steel framework and iron roof remain; the six original turbines are visible through the burned-out wood floor.
