The Yonkers Power Station, located between the Glenwood Metro North station and the Hudson River, was built in 1907 for the electrification of the New York Central Railroad. In 2008 the Preservation League of New York State named the plant as one of the seven most endangered sites in the state, and in 2013 the building began to be renovated into the "PowerHouse", an "arts-focused event complex with eventual plans for restaurants, a hotel and a marina." Phase One, the renovation of the building itself, is expected to be completed in 2016. (Sources: [1] and [2])
