Grand Canyon Power House, National Historic Landmark power station in Grand Canyon Village, United States.
The Grand Canyon Power House exhibits reinforced concrete construction with limestone exterior walls and large industrial windows spanning multiple floors.
Built in 1926 by Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway, this power plant supplied electricity to the El Tovar Hotel and Bright Angel Lodge until 1956.
The building demonstrates early 20th-century engineering principles through its Swiss chalet design elements integrated into an industrial power generation facility.
The former power station now functions as storage space and offices while maintaining its original mechanical components, including diesel generators and pumps.
Steel catwalks encircle the preserved Fairbanks-Morse generators inside the structure, with an overhead bridge crane remaining in its original position.
