Photograph. Sepia-toned photo that shows the Detroit Edison Trenton Channel electric power plant located in Trenton. The view shows railroad tracks, fencing, and a utility pole in the foreground. The brick power plant building with three large exhaust smokestacks can be seen in the background. The long, 2-story buildings near the center area of the photo may be housing for workers who were working in nearby factories during World War II. An adhesive label in the lower center area of the photo shows "Edison Plant." A typewritten label on the verso shows "Edison Channel Plant - Trenton, from River Road" and the number, "WF #14-B."
