Richmond power station was built along the Delaware River in the early 19th century to augment the power being generated by the Delaware station down the river. The station was taken offline in 1985 and has stood silent ever since.. Richmond is one of the 3 power plants that was used in the filming of Terry Gilliam’s “12 Monkeys” movie, starring Bruce Willis.

I love Richmond’s architecture. Where Delaware has a labyrinth feel and beautiful rooftops, Richmond has grand architecture and a beautiful control room with an even grander view. Plus, this is the plant that contains the boilers that were used as the time machine and the shower room in “12 Monkeys”, not to mention the jail scenes as well.
