I don't remember if anything was posted about it before on this forum, but when was the power plant at Glenwood shut down? And does anybody on the list know if there is any equipment still inside the building now?

Then most of the equipment was removed in the 1970's, and then it was sold and is now private property. After the Con Ed subsidary bought it, the NYC bought power from them for a while.
