Background
Architecture
The Power House was built as an electricity generating station for the London United Electrical Tramway Company between 1899 and 1901. The Power House was designed by the architects William Curtis Green and J. Clifton Robinson; the building engineer was a Mr. Parshall. Cherry and Pevsner call the Power House "by far the most exciting building" of Chiswick High Road and Turnham Green, and "the best surviving example in London from the early, heroic era of generating stations whose bulky intrusion in residential areas was tempered by thoughtful architectural treatment".
