A Cathedral-Like Power Plant
Appartenance Mauricie Société d’histoire régionale, Laurentide Fonds
The architecture of the Grand-Mère hydro-electric power plant was inspired by that of the Sainte-Cécile Cathedral in Albi, France. Both buildings have narrow windows that are crowned with friezes and separated by semi-cylindrical structures.
