Interesting Facts/Records (in own words):

Constructed on the cliffs of the Spokane River adjacent to Spokane Falls, this facility consolidated and distributed electricity generated from nearby dams for Spokane's power demands.

It continues to operate today as a vital grid component for Avista, managing voltage distribution and serving as a control hub for local power stations; additionally it has become a prominent landmark and symbol for the city of Spokane.
