The building is actually a small hydro-electric generating station and a house.It is located just above bridal veil falls in Telluride,Co.It was built around the turn of the century to supply power for the mine below it.It was abandoned in the early 50s.It was bought in the late 70s and declared a national historic site.I am told that the guy that bought it secured federal funds to restore the building.The power plant is operational and sells power to the Teluride area.The property is a private residence and is occupied all year long.I have been told that it was the first AC generationing facility in the west.I have also been told that Nikola Tesla was involved with GE in its design.I first saw this place back in the mid 70s and it still blows me away.
I have included a couple more pictures as requested and will post more soon.

LMW,
Were you in Moab between Sept 30 and Oct 5? My Tundra and FWC was usually in camp, but saw a rig like yours while coming into town in my Jeep.

We were in Moab Oct 3ed in our red Toyota. We saw a FWC at the Chevron station that had Calif plates.
