Preserving a Power Plant

What was once an important power plant for a growing Austin has been sitting idle for some time. The iconic art deco decoration, the shape of the building and some (out of commission but visually interesting) stacks and boilers will remain but the building will become a multi-use retail and events center and have a hotel, condos, parking and green space around it. The Lance Armstrong bike way and the commuter rail will be nearby. That's the goal anyway. FFP and I went to a Heritage Society event where the future of the property was discussed. Thus I got close enough for some interesting pictures. Our new home will be mere steps aways from this property.
