dc.descriptionInterior, escalator going down from top floor; Bankside Power Station is a former oil-fired power station, located on the south bank of the River Thames, in the Bankside district of London. It generated electricity from 1952 to 1981 and was designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott. A second phase of construction was not completed until 1963. The final structure roughly divided the building into three; the huge main turbine hall in the center, with the smaller boiler room to one side and the switching room to the other. The £134 million conversion to house the Tate Modern started in June 1995. Much of the internal structure remains, including the cavernous main Turbine Hall, which retains the overhead traveling crane. The Turbine Hall is five storeys tall with 3,400 square meters of floorspace. Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page (accessed 8/27/2015)en_US
