Power & Light

The old power building on the grounds of historic Harlinsdale Farm in Franklin, Tennessee. This building was constructed in the early 1900s to house a small coal-burning power plant for the town of Franklin. It became obsolete after the creation of the Tennessee Valley Authority during the Great Depression, and was added to the Harlinsdale horse farm, where champion Tennessee Walking Horses were being raised. This part of the building collapsed during a severe thunderstorm in February 2014.
