Quinten and Jeffery came to spend the weekend. We went to see the Open House at the Georgetown Steam Plant. It was built in 1906, the first reinforced concrete building in the area. It generated electricity by burning coal to create steam to turn the turbines. It served the community until the 1970's when it was shut down. It has remained idle ever since. They are trying to decide what to do with the building going forward, and in the meantime, to reinforce the structure and make it safely live on.
