Palazzos of Power

Palazzos of Power offers a visual and analytical exploration of architecture, technology, place, loss, and reuse. With a foreword by David Nye, this collection of Joseph Elliott's beautiful large-format photographs reveal the urban landscape, monumental spaces, giant machinery, and intricate controls that made up the massive metropolitan power stations servicing greater Philadelphia at the turn of the twentieth century. Aaron Wunsch's essay provides historical context on the social and political climate.
