I heard an interview on the radio this morning about the Niagara Parks Power Station that was put in service in 1905 and taken off line a few years ago.

I'm not sure how long the interview will be on line or if it will play everywhere,
A trip '''back in time''': Touring the Niagara Parks Power Station | Fresh Air | Live Radio | CBC Listen.
so I looked up the website.

There are some other media reports at the bottom of the web page .
Here is one of them

I thought I had remembered seeing some mentions about it in some of the old Electrical News and Engineering magazines .
There are several mentions about it in this volume

For those that might be interested some of these other volumes close to or after the date of construction may have more information .
The dates don't appear on the thumbnails of the wider search I tried

I tried posting a link to the restricted years of 1903 to 1905 but it doesn't want to post correctly but you can try one on your own if you want to.
