This photo along with photos 970585, 970587, 970589-970591 are
displayed on a board at the SLCHS. An accompanying description of the plant
reads: The long since defunct plant was the outgrowth of a plant built by the
Warwick-Cunningham Company about 1890 and which went into receivership in
1895. Service at first was limited to industries stores and public buildings
and current was only available to those from dusk to 10 pm. New equipment was
added periodically until full service to the entire community was achieved.
The plant continued in operation until 1948 when it was deemed advisable to
retain the distribution system but to purchase current wholesale from the
Ohio Edison Company a policy adopted by more than 95% of the communities in
the United States although many sold their distribution systems as well as
their generating plants. |

Photo of the marshland along State Route 18 east of Wellington
taken 1948-49. |
Writing on reverse of photo: Route 18 sinks out of sight. This
highway crosses the marshland two miles east of Wellington and following
torrential rains in early April 1948 the highway gave way sinking - not
inches but many feet leaving caverns in which bouses could have been dumped.
A contract was let for $32,951 for fill and new paving with July 31 the
completion date. On June 1st workmen moved in paving equipment only to
discover large caverns were forming in the new fill. By June 10 a large
section of the roadway had simply vanished leaving huge craters with layers
of the old muck strata turned up on edge showing the old logs put down
through the swamp by the first settlers. Weekend crowds came to view the
calamity offer advice and predictions. Farther and farther back into the
fields went the huge conveyers bringing more and more dirt to fill the hungry
may of the fissures. By mid-November the road was still sinking and the earth
movers worked around the clock. In the meantime township roads were being
ruined by detoured traffic. It was mid-summer of 1949 before the project was
finalized with the cost estimated at $500,000."" |

older than the present house at 131 Park Place. |
