Description
This is a power station built around 1917-1918. It features a tall gabled structure made of red brick, with gableted ridge vents and a corrugated iron roof. The building has plain brick buttresses and a limited number of openings at the ground level, along with louvered vents at the gable apex. There is a smaller section attached to the west gable, designed in the same style but with a roof that sweeps down to the north (front) over a single-storey cottage. Inside the main shed, there is a travelling crane from the 1950s.
