There's an old powerhouse in my area that was converted into a restaurant. The website doesn't have many photos but it's interesting inside.
The plant was built in the early 20th Century by my former employer - Rust Engineering & Construction.

As far as tunnels, mines, until about 5 years ago one could enter the southern end of string of sloped iron ore mine shafts and walk approximately 17 miles north and come out looking down on the city of Birmingham, Alabama. Nearly all these mine quit working in 60's and it is strange how people and officials forget as everyone was dumbfounded when they were constructing as large sewer line through the mountain and hit the head shaft of one of the old mines. They killed the walking path as they didn't leave a path arounf the new tunnel and filled the area with raw sewage. The construction company had one hell of a time cutting the tunnel through the ore body. This particular mine was opened around 1870 and the old miners didn't seem to have any problem removing the ore.
I recently went by an old walking portal that very few know about and so it hadn't been sealed off and as I approached I smelled sewer gas. This portal is kinda in the family as my father used it to carry water to the miners in 1900 at the age of 8.

It may be like this in theory and practice, but in real life it is completely different.

In another similar plant in south Seattle, Georgetown Steam Plant, some of the generator ID plates said "Not for use in aircraft", and were from the beginning of the 20th century. Considering their sheer size and weight, that blew me away.
