They were pretty common in turn-of-the century power stations. Electricity was a novel idea with great promise back then, so people built power stations to feel like temples dedicated to this new force, which to the public, was essentially magic. Many of them have cavernous halls with large windows and intricate decorations on the walls. Marble control panels with polished bronze fittings accentuated the turbine halls. They were built to evoke a sense of awe and wonder in anyone who stepped inside.

2:10 - It appears a section of the wing wall on the right has slumped down. Only about 5000 acre-feet stored so I doubt it would be devasting if collapse occurred. I wonder if the river was used to deliver some of the materials. The transport and handling of materials was a huge undertaking, let alone the building of the structures in such a remote location. Awesome video!!

These two powerhouses are true relics of when mechanical devices and electrical systems came together in marriage at this scale. Sites as this are rare indeed. As said in the video, the remote area in which these generating stations are located aided greatly to what is left today. If these stations were located in an area that allowed easy access, most if not all equipment would have been scraped. What a treasure!

The video is great, as your videos always are! However, I'd recommend that you consider changing the title to read "a dying giant" rather than "a giant dying". Right now, the title can be interpreted as you visiting a place where a large amount of literal death has happened (which might turn away some viewers or make them feel misled), rather than conveying that you're visiting a place where large things are deteriorating and metaphorically dying.
