That’s interesting.

So who owned and operated the steam plant? Was it the city or was there a utility company that billed users for the steam?

The city. And it’s fuel source was garbage. Took years of debate to get rid of it. I don’t think you can get gas lines up to I 40 but there are lines west past that starting at 14th ave.

The Loews Vanderbilt Hotel on 21st Ave had gas but only for the water boiler and kitchen. Heat and air came from huge air handling units.
