Below the White River Falls is what's left of one of the very first hydroelectric power plants in Oregon. In approximately 1902 the Wasco Warehouse Milling Company, built this powerhouse to power its major mills in The Dalles, some 40 miles to the north. In 1910, the Wasco Milling Company sold the powerhouse to the Pacific Power and Light Company. It was totally abandoned in 1963. By then power was coming from big dams on the Columbia River.

What replaced it? It is a beautiful photo, but I do find myself worrying about power station alternatives.
Nice scenic view. I am surprised the buildings are still standing.
That looks like such a lovely spot. I would love to see more views.
That is such a lovely scene. You know it has many stories to tell.
Buen encuadre con el agua partiendo la foto en zig-zag

Precioso lugar se eligió para poner esa instalación eléctrica. La tecnología avanza, esperemos que se imponga la producción de energía limpia y renovable. Que pases una felices y responsables fiestas, amigo Bill.
Un abrazo y cuidate.
