This plant, the South Plant, was once connected to the North Plant via an overhead walkway (conveyor? maybe someone can comment.) over Abbotsford Avenue. All that remains of the North Plant is the powerhouse.

The walkway came out of the South Plant, near the smokestack...Just about where this square structure is attached. I assume this was an anchor for the walkway.
