Notes
  • Significance: Strongly influenced by the earliest Niagara hydroelectric project, the 1901 Trenton Falls Station was installed in a spectacular gorge and was probably the highest-head contemporary plant in the eastern United States. A distinctly transitional station, Trenton Falls combined European-style turbines which soon proved outmoded with prescient, long-lived choices in electric generating and control equipment. The new powerhouse, added to the old one in 1919, reflected a generation of rapid development in hydroelectric station design and equipment. Together, the two powerhouses survive as a powerful example of technological and architectural change over a short period of time. The largely-original 56-foot-high dam evokes the regional magnitude of the station when first built.
