Watch the video.it's similiar to what they had in the old diesel plant. Notice the building interior it's similar too

That was fascinating! Thanks!

I was talking to American icon brewery and that it was another called the turbine.

I have an old photo of the plant to post ,it's an old vero image of 1935 but no later then 1950.

But the floating stacks .I will go and get a great photo.a teaser View attachment 11254

It's actually close to the plant where I took that. I wish it was chugging steam or cng fumes when take the photos as it would run non stop years ago.

Hint to find the old diesel plant .the water tower which is also in this photo. With the packing house.this is before the diesel plant but not before vero electric. 1919 at the oldest.

The upper right with the label vero beach on the water tower.notice the diesel plant isn't there.there were two wooden buildings that housed turbines prior to the diesel plant.both burned down.View attachment 11256

I found at least five still standing references.the theatre,the old farmers bank,the diesel plant.the original gas station now a car wash.one home.ironside press,then the vero press journal.

That's what's so cool about the old maps & aerial photos...finding the old landmarks

Which stand.I see the original city hall.,loaches garage.the ice house west of the power plant.

 

[AirDancer]

It's great the old landmarks can still be found & identified. Far too many cities, towns have torn down the old to make room for the new

Just by the old plant I noticed a few changes.the water tower was way bigger when I was a kid and also the plant has more turbines later on.homes gone .packing houses in city limits is just not something most will know. In the image there's three.

 

[AirDancer]

Well, changes do occur as demand/location needs change....

I was right the diesel plant did indeed have an awning. Here whilst I post the photos and story going back to the early 20s.the arial based in the source is no earlier then My date but since I can make out another marker the arial is a ww2 era.the drive in park isn't there.
