Located north of Center City, the Richmond Power Generating Station (1924-25) was built and operated by the Philadelphia Electrical Company (PECO). Designed by Chief PECO engineer W.C.L Eglin and architect John Torrey Windrim, it has a Turbine Hall 125 feet high featuring an arched ceiling as the choice of Beaux-Arts Neoclassical designed deliberately chosen by PECO.
"It looks like the temple for steampunk." commented by Aaron Wunsch, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania.
With two of its four turbo-generator units installed and twelve of its 24 planned boilers put into place, the station was generating 100,000 kilowatts of electricity a year.
In 1935, a third unit rated at 165 MW (by Westinghouse) was installed; it was powered by two pulverized coal-fired boilers that gave it an effective rating of 135 MW.
In 1951, a fourth unit, rated at 185 MW was added; it ran at a steam pressure of 1200 psi (as opposed to 400 psi). Also, it was hydrogen-cooled instead of air-cooled like the other units.
Over time, technology, the environment, and politics changed, and this coal-fed behemoth was converted to gas with Philadelphia’s clean-air act in the 1970s. The station was ultimately retired in 1985, during a period when Philadelphia’s population, industry, and employment were at all-time lows.
Since this time, the historic buildings have been closed, though accessed occasionally as sets for movies like “Transformers 2” and “Twelve Monkeys” (how that psychotherapy was originated).

Happy Windmill Wednesday!
Although these are now termed "wind generators" - so many still look at them as windmills ..just not the classics.
Normally I pass them up but the contrasting clouds sucked me in. :>)

Macro Mondays - Contraption
I started the week by searching the house for some mechanical device to photograph, but found nothing that excited me. I then decided I would have to build my own contraption and that it should be an idea generator for MM. I know my contraption looks like a pile of junk, but use your imagination and allow me to explain a bit. I wanted to use some commonly photographed items for MM to build the device. You will see a light bulb, feather, match, die, key, paperclips, binder clips, and Scrabble tiles. I also used a key ring, wire nut, clothes pin, spring, L bracket, radiator clamp, rain jacket, Bible, and twist ties. The Bible is used as the base to provide a solid foundation and the red jacket made a nice backdrop. The light bulb represents the idea that is generated. The Key to sparking (match) a great MM idea involves some prayer (Bible) and taking a chance by rolling the dice. I usually like to inject some humor, which is represented by the feather (tickling device). The bracket, clips, clamps, ties, tiles, etc. hold everything together. Let me know if you want the complete plans for the MM Idea Generator. HMM
