One thing we couldn't take, and I can find no pictures of, was the massive brass commemorative builder's plate on the foundation wall. Partially submerged during our visit, it must've been at least 4ft x 6ft and had all the information about the construction of the plant, the interested parties (Insull among them) and some very ornate brasswork. My biggest regret is not taking more photos during this trip, as we had basically free reign to go anywhere we wanted.Patrick McDonnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00367582627110223667noreply@blogger.com
