[SOLD] Richard L. Hearn Generating Station Collection
No matter where you live, if you watch movies or videos, particularly Science Fiction/Fantasy there is a very good chance you have seen the Hearn, most likely with a single 215 meter (700 ft) chimney which was completed in 1971. The Richard L. Hearn Generating Station or the Hearn for short is an electrical generating station located at 440 Unwin Avenue in Toronto Canada or 43°N38.730′ 79°W20.105′. Stone & Webster Engineering Corporation designed the Station and was the General Contractor during its construction. At full load the boilers burned about 400 tonnes of coal per hour, and the turbines and other equipment required about 36 million gallons per hour of cooling water from Lake Ontario. Total construction cost was $156 million Canadian Dollars.
Pharaonic in scale and large enough to swallow 12 Parthenons, it has doubled as a filming location in many Canadian television productions, including Goosebumps (it served as the Dark Falls Chemical Factory on the Season 2 episode Welcome to Dead House), Once a Thief, Orphan Black, and Animorphs. You may see it on TV in 12 Monkeys as the Raritan Valley National Laboratory, in the climactic scene of the movie RED, or in the Star Trek: Discovery episode “Brother”.
If you had the use of an Inter-dimensional Time Machine that enabled you to travel to 1960 Toronto in a parallel Universe in which everything appears as black and white this collection of photographs is how the Richard L. Hearn Generating Station would appear.
