Fort Morgan Power Plant Building

Morgan County

The power plant, a concrete post-and-beam industrial structure clad in red brick, was constructed in 1923 under the supervision of its designer, George Cox, Fort Morgan city superintendent.

The building housed the highest pressure steam plant in the state at the time of its construction.  The construction of the plant reflects the maturity of the city, as it provided critical infrastructure for the growing community.
