This steam powered Westinghouse generator provided 32 Volt DC power to the shops complex and surrounding homes. It utilizes a steam turbine powered from the shops boilers to turn a DC generator. inside the generator room are the knife swithces, needle meeters and resistance coils to control the power systems.

In 2003 a crew from the FEBT replaced the leaking and rotted roof over the geneator with a completely new replica roof. In 2004 the interior will be refinshed and returned to its historic state. The generator itself has sustained damage from the leaking roof and no longer turns. It is restorable however and in teh future it will be addressed as well.
