Date stone

Circa 1908


This date stone is the only surviving remnant of the 1908 addition to the original Rossdale Power Plant. The building was demolished in 1931 to make way for a more modern structure.

In the upper right corner of the picture below, dated July 2, 1941, you can see the date stone sitting upside down on the old boiler room floor.
