Picture from the ‘80’s of FIrst Energy Edgerwater Plant up on Lake Erie in Lorain, Oh. It was built in early 1900’s and owner by OPS (Ohio Public Service). Then OE (Ohio Edison). OE became First Energy. The plant was retired in early 2000 ‘s and torn down in 2010-2011.
Greg Mallory: I looked at it many time visiting Avon Lake!

My main motivation for these notes is to capture this historic turbine and generator

Found this picture buried online somewhere, I believe it was from the demo contractors. One of the original Westinghouse units was in there until demo, another piece of American history to the scrap pile.
Robert Armburger: That was Edgewater’s unit #2. A 27 mw air cooled generator.

"According to the Morning Journal article, the plant has been there since 1919."

It is unusual to have satellite photos from the 1990s, let alone just one month apart. But these show that they removed the coal pile between April and March of 1994. It also shows a lot of lake ice disappeared during that month.
