Steampunk NYC!

Who would think that the oldest continuously-operating, privately owned steam-powered electrical generating plant in the United States sits in a quiet Victorian section of Brooklyn, New York?

Pratt University still has its original steam-powered engine room. Chandelier included!

And every year on New Year's Eve the caretaker sets up all of the large steam whistles outside. Where passersby get to pull the ropes and create a cacophony to ring in the new year!
