The Power House: The Boldts intended to electrify the
island when they acquired it, and their architects designed
this facility where coal, brought by barge, would fire steam
generators, within a diminutive towered chateau. An arched,
stone bridge originally connected the Power House to the
island, and the highest tower provided river traffic with
illuminated clock faces and the music of chimes.
