  • The Fort Worth Power and Light Company Power plant was first built in 1912 and powered the city until 2004 when the power plant was finally decommissioned. After being abandoned for years, Tarrant County Community College bought the property but announced they have no plans for the empty structure.

    I’m now 87. My folks moved here when I was 4. I’ve been over this viaduct many times. I’ve never been inside the power plant itself. Thanks for the trip.

    I looked at the power plant many times from Tarrant County Vollege Trinity River campus. The old Radio Shack headquarters.

    Me and my friend went inside and i still have footage of our exploration , it was also at night which made it 10 time more creepy.

      That would for sure be creepier at night, you just never know who could be lurking in the shadows.

    Super toxic land Fort Worth weekly did a story about it like 15 years. That's why it has not been tore down, I'm going to guess they didn't not tell all the people in those apartments all around it.

    Ah I just remembering this place, i got arrested for trespassing here in 2018 with some of my buddies. To be fair we were being dumb but then again the detective and the two cops that found us acted like we were terrorists or something the way we were treated. Good times

    I’m old enough to remember when this power plant was operational in the mid-60s. Two iconic smoke stacks had landmark status at the south end of the building.

      Even something like a power plant was made with more character than any of these new buildings these days.

      Water. Power plants need water. This one was coal fired. Large coal fires heat the water up into steam. The steam spins turbines that are connected to the generators. The steam produced is cooled some & returned to the river.
