City Hospital Power Plant, Reinvisioned
I can't say enough positive words about the renovation of the old City Hospital power plant into a bouldering facility, envisioned by two brothers and I think some of their friends.Left as a ruin when the City Hospital was abandoned, the power plant is a landmark on the near south side.The interior, while stripped of the bulky boilers that once filled the room, still contains some nice elements alluding to its industrial past, such as a giant gantry crane that still hangs over the lobby.Below you can see several angles of the artificial "rock wall" that climbers can now tackle in the renovated space.
