Cleveland, OH: Aquarium/Power Plant

(3D Satellite, 22,482 photos!)

The aquarium is a repurposed power plant, which explains the smokestacks. It is nice that they have preserved them. I could not find a history of the building on their web site. Between the two stacks we see the abandoned B&O Bridge #463.

Jeremy Schenker posted 16 photos with the comment: "We went to the Greater Cleveland Aquarium today! I did not know it was an old Power Plant. It is pretty neat how they incorporated some of the old plant into the aquarium."

David Adkins: 20 some yrs ago they had bars and comedy clubs in there. It was a pretty popular place. One of the bars was “The howling at the moon saloon.”

Jack Haney: The power plant was for the lakeshore railway. There was another plant in Avon Lake by the presently decommissioned Genon Power Plant.

Chris Snyder: The maritime museum in Erie PA did the same thing except they left one of the steam turbines in place. It was also an old power plant. It has more of a powerplant feel to it than the cleveland aquarium

Sam McFarland: I had my wedding there!

Max Kaminski: There's no way that PVC firemain meets code.
