Cooling water
Concenser cooling water intake building at the former Adirondack Power and Light plant at Amsterdam, NY on the Erie Canal just upstream of lock 9.
As a teen, I traveled the Erie Canal and was fascinated by this plant as we passed on the boat. That was in the late 70's and it was not in use then ether. The 1923 edition of Babcock & Wilcox "Steam, Its Generation and Use" shows an earlier version of the plant.
