Power Plant from Wheeler
Title
Power Plant from Wheeler
Description
This photo was taken the same time as the Power Plant from the Railroad before 1962. It is similar to the other photos taken in the 1950s.
After the city sold the power plant to Commonwealth Edison in 1963, this building was sold to the Eltra Corporation (also known as Autolite and Woodstock Die Casting) who modernized the front and built a walkway between the second floors of this and original factory buildings so that employees did not have to go downstairs to cross Wheeler Street.
