Starrett City power plant

January 20th, 2013



Hey, this looks familiar! The plant doesn't always work perfectly, of course, but it did allow Starrett City to maintain power during the famous blackouts of 1977 and 2003. According to the NY Post: "Starrett City in Brooklyn also has a plant that is not connected to the grid. When the city's lights went out in 1977, a famous news photo showed its windows glowing."
