R.L. Hearn 2.0 - Infiltration

Richard L Hearn Generating Station (Power Plant)
Originally a Coal power Plant, later it was partially converted to use Natural Gas in 1971.
The plant was discontinued operation in July 1983, due to concerns about air pollution and because Toronto already had an abundance of power.

The plant has a single smokestack that stands 215 meters or 705 feet tall. This stack was once the tallest in the world when constructed in the 1950's.
I believe it’s the 6th tallest structure in Toronto now.

Soon it will be gone forever, it was going to be converted into a movie studio, but now they’re planning on making a new power plant.

There’s a few repetitive shots, please leave a comment and let me know which you Most & Least like so I can remove some, I really can't make up my mind :)
