Cake 157- Ashley Street Powerhouse

Found November 27, 2014

 What better way to celebrate Thanksgiving than to spend the afternoon cake hunting!

Ashley Street Power House was constructed in 1902.  It was the first large electrical power plant to be built by Union Electric Company, which would later become Ameren.  The building became a landmark in 1971 and is still in use today.  When it was built, the plant was able to provide all of St. Louis City with electrical power.  The Riverfront trailhead is also located here.
