Lower Power House Gravel Slide

On December 12, 1926 the lower power house experienced a gravel slide. This was caused by crumbling  of the bank under the pen stock, resulting in tipping of the latter and subsequent break of the flume. Today the lower power house is gone and the only part of it that remains is the foundation and sump housing. More photos and history available at the DuPont Museum. www.dupontmuseum.com
