Abandoned power plant with graffiti and broken windows in New Orleans

The Market Street Power Plant in the Lower Garden District of New Orleans provided electricity to New Orleans until it was shut down and replaced with newer power stations.
It is located on the Mississippi River, where coal was delivered to the plant by barges. And the River provided water for cooling and for steam generation.
The plant is now abandoned, and it has been vandalized with graffiti and broken windows.
The property is slated to be developed with surrounding vacant land for a residential and commercial venture. #neworleans #abandonedbuilding #abandoned #graffiti #vandalized #powerplant
