The photograph is an abandoned Power Plant outside Walsenburg, Colorado. Origninally built to provide energy to the Walsen Mine, Walsen Camp, and the town of Walsenburg, the plant is the last remaining structure of the once bustling Walsen Camp, a coal mining settlement dating from the late 1870s.

At its peak the Walsen Camp boasted over 200 homes and a population of 1,200.
