Summary

| Description |
English: Photo of the former Pennsylvania Power and Light (PPL) Company powerhouse at Front and Linden Streets. It is an enormous bedding which was completed in 1907 by the Lehigh Valley Transit Company for powering its streetcars. The plant became part of the PP&L consortium in 1920
Inside the building, the generating equipment included 500, 1,000 and 2,500 steam turbines. Along with the generating plant, the area included a large marshaling yard for streetcars and freight trolly cars that facilitated the delivery of coal for the boilers that powered the steam turbines. Today the building is owned by the Lehigh and Northampton Transit Authority (LANTA), that uses the building as a servicing center for its buses. |
