Old Transit Authority Powerplant

Behind the street car in the photo on the left is two buildings. The building closer to us is the old Transit Authority power plant that was torn down years ago. Its replacement is the current power plant located where the Culver Line connects with the Brighton Line at West 8^th street. The building with the square roof top, I have no idea, and was most likely removed when Neptune Ave was relocated to its current location. What you can't see in the photo on the left, immediately to the left of the photo is Brighton Beach Laundry, which will become very evident in future photos. The photo on the right is taken where I believe the power plant used to be. Its now part, store fronts, part, parking lot for Walgreens and other stores There is one remnant that I personally remember seeing, was one of the poles that brought electricity north to the Culver Line. Here are some photos of a lonely poll which just being used for people to place advertisements on. It is located on a island in the middle of Neptune Ave, almost right infront of the old Broghton Beach Laundry building which is now a mixture or retain stores, including Walgreens, and upstairs there are medical offices and nightclubs.
