abandoned / shut down, power station
An abandoned power-generating station which powered the Capital Regional District between 1912 and 1957. Rumours tell that the plant has been torn down, but it still stands today. It is no longer maintained, and is not accessible to the public due to it's proximity to a drinking water reservoir.
