Black and white image of large, shiny turbine with equipment around it

While Steam Plant provided the largest amount of electricity of the three power plants, its downside was that a March 1931 study showed that the plant was also the largest single consumer of gasoline in Del Rio. In May 1930, due to the location of Steam Plant and the amount of manpower required to effectively run it, CP&L built 14 houses on the east side of the river overlooking Steam Plant to accommodate its employees and their families. Outfitted with the latest technology, the homes were continuously occupied by CP&L employees until their demolition for Amistad Reservoir in the 1960s.
