Summary

Significance: The Power House reflects Albert Johnson's pre-occupation with new technologies and his desire to make the Ranch as self-sufficient and as comfortable as possible. The Power House was originally designed to house three separate electrical generators; the Gospel Foundation added two new ones that supplanted the original three. This facility generated all electricity until 1964, when commercial power was brought to the Ranch.

Dams under construction. Watts Bar Dam, shown here under construction, has a semi-outdoors type powerhouse with an enormous gantry crane (to the right of the picture) for installation and removal of units. The project is further distinguished by a control building which is entirely removed from the hydro plant, being located some 120 feet higher on top of a steep cliff and with direct connection to the switchyard behind. The windowless left wing of the control building houses the control room; the tower-like structure in the back accomodates air conditioning, restrooms, etc. The glass wall, upper level, contains the reception room with a broad semi-circular overlook terrace, the story below the terrace devoted to offices
