Abstract:

Leroy Nelson Houck (1895-1980) was an electrician with the Pennsylvania Water & Power Company. He spent a large portion of his career working in the Load Dispatcher's Office. Pennsylvania Water & Power Company was established to store, transport, and generate water power for both commercial and manufacturing purposes. The Holtwood facility outside of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, was the first power plant to have both a hydroelectric generator and a coal power generator. This small collection consists of pamphlets, photographs, and booklets related to the Pennsylvania Water & Power Co. documenting Houck's experiences as an employee there. There are manuals, booklets, and brochures about Holtwood and the Safe Harbor Dam.
