Several more.

I took these back in August. The west wing boiler house was leveled by then.

FirstEnergy owns it. It was built and originally owned/operated by Toledo Edison.

I took these in April. The river front boiler house was half-demolished here.

The boilers in the tall structure and the boiler house facing the Maumee River burned pulverized coal. The boilers in the oldest burned stoker-fed coal, but I don't know whether or not they were converted to oil.
