Building C
|
Overview:
The original fan building (1903 -1919), all
fans were built here with a portion of the 2nd floor
removed for needed extra height in constructing the largest
mechanical draft fans. The moving of the foundry offsite in 1919
changed the product mix to a variety of small fans, coils and, after
1945, the Westinghouse Precipitron. By the mid-1970s,
the building was mostly vacant with some fan
welding still occuring.
The tapered brickwork
extending out along the west wall are heater
flues that were part of the original ventilating
system
