If that's the "boiler house" as you say, the more likely that location held two, maybe three coal boilers which were used to provide power for the plant. Back in the very early days of industry, companies would use belt systems powered by these overhead pulleys. Those belt systems needed to have power from somewhere, and steam was the best choice. I doubt the original boilers are in place in that building, but it would be interesting none the less to find out.Kabuki Kitsunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05417359288627908211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22064083.post-77881347871387801712009-12-04T15:21:29.014-05:002009-12-04T15:21:29.014-05:00at the south west corner
