A forgotten spectacle

Power supply stations were, not that long ago, once considered spectacular. Consider the World's Columbian Exposition 1893 in Chicago. The Tesla and Westinghouse collaboration that provided electrical lighting for the fair was the highlight for many attendees and the powerhouse itself was an exhibit.









Now we have such buildings all over the place and no one cares.

Annabella

Annabella (or at least a portion of it) is going to be my site.

Site Resolution

After some discussion tomorrow I should be able to declare which site I'm going with.

Half a step back

I think I need to take a bit of a step back to gain a little perspective. I've been looking at sites and I'm starting to think that I may have lost site of what I'm looking for and why.
This may clear itself up when I pick up the digital recorder I'm renting and get audio recordings.
I also plan to build an induced voltage sensor from a toothbrush to see what kind of readings I can pick up from items on site.

Site (Round 3)

I saw this site from a distance yesterday and it intrigued me. I got back to it today for pictures.

Some detail images.

Site- (Round 2)

The Electrical station at Pacific and Lily seems to fit the criteria of what I need in a site.

Site???

I have an idea for a site.
Background first:
- I was looking at high density areas as per previous input
- My investigation of the electrical in my home made me think of using an old derelict building to retrofit towards modernizing electrically (and likely parasitically).

I have a building I would like to use:















The Gray's Auction Bldg on King.

Magnetic EMF

I've been looking more into magnetic fields and the forms they create since our last discussion.
I've also been tracing the layout of the electrical system in my house to look at implementation. My house is proving to be particularly interesting due to its age. It was built in 1924 so it had limited electrical for many years. The electrical in it can be seen as a series of additions built on top of each other.
Here are some images I pulled off the internet indicative of the kinds of things I've been investigating.

Site Selection

I believe I've found a site that meets the criteria required by my project (namely light, movement, a place to be observed/interacted with)
