Most likely at the Pearl Street Station

Some other reforms of that time were better railroads, electrical equipment, efficient steel production, financing, and oil production.

This change brought many reforms, including power for lamps, streetlights, factories, and appliances. Factories also became safer, and moved farther away from each other. The Power Plant made factories more flexible and safe.

This was one of Edison's first station. It was experimental, and was coal fired and powered lamps along the viaduct.

This change is and was long-lasting for many reasons. This change gave the general public easier access to electric light, which has evolved into the simple luxury it is today. Many power plants also exist today, supplying us with power. This plant also made factories safer, allowing them to move farther away from each other, and making it easier to operate machinery.

Many people took part in this reform. One of the most important figures was, of course, Thomas Edison. He, and his company, the Edison Illuminating Company, made this plant possible. J.P. Morgan, a very successful banker, funded Edison and believe in him, against his father's will. His father believed it was a waste of time. Francis Upton supervised this entire operation.

This advancement was important for many reasons. Factories were able to have easier access to electric power, making the factories safer. This power also was used to power new appliances, such as heating systems and new forms of transportation. This plant may have also provided a ground for new types of plants to be invented.

Thomas Edison and his company, the Edison Illuminating Company, built this coal-fired power plant on 255-257 Pearl Street in Manhattan, New York City. It was built under the direction of Francis Upton.
