PG&E Powerhouse

PG&E Powerhouse, also known as Sacramento River Station B is a historic building located in Sacramento, California and constructed in 1912 by notable architect Willis Polk.[2] It was used by PG&E as an auxiliary power plant and transformer substation where voltage was transformed for distribution.[2] In 1924, PG&E upgraded the facility, making it the largest steam turbine power plant in the region.[2] They sold the building in 1957 and the inside of the building was stripped of all metal elements and equipment, leaving a large open area.[2] In November 2021, the SMUD Museum of Science and Curiosity (MOSAC) opened on the site as part of a $40.8 million project.[3]
