Former Esssex Generating Station which was built for the Newark based Public Service company, the structure popped up along conrail's Passaic and Harsimus line. No architect is specifically credited for the building, but the gorgeous structure is almost certainly a work of the legendary Paul Phillipe Cret, who worked on many PSEG projects throughout the years.

  • Sorry Kid...that is the old switch house to the former Essex Generating Station. It was built in 1915 .The steam plant,generators and turbines were torn down in 1993. I started there as a helper in 1972 and had a great time working there.
