An early-20th-century hydroelectric facility on the Animas River—strong industrial lines, brick/steel textures and riverside reflections. Shoot dawn or late afternoon for warm side-light and long shadows; winter ice and autumn foliage add drama. Limited public access: stay to public viewpoints/riverbank; parking available nearby in Durango. Respect fenced areas and private property.
