This photograph showcases the Electric Power House at Petty Harbor, Newfoundland, Canada, built in 1898. A pioneering achievement in Canadian engineering and technology, this hydroelectric generating station was established by the St. John's Street Railway Company, under the visionary leadership of Robert Reid. Located at Maddox Cove, the power house harnesses the natural energy of the stream flowing from Gull Hill, utilizing a flume and pipeline system to transport water to the intake. The intake then drives the turbines, generating electricity for the community. This historic site, still in active service today, marks an important milestone in the advancement of electrical power supply in Newfoundland and Labrador, dating back to 1902. The image captures the grandeur of the past, with the rugged terrain and picturesque harbor of Petty Harbor providing a stunning backdrop to this technological marvel.
