Kingston Powerhouse

Listed on the Register of the National Estate, the Kingston Powerhouse is Canberra's oldest building. Remarkably, the Power House retains many of its original chattels, and thirty identifiable structures and features built over the past eighty years remain intact.

Included in the powerhouse's structure are; two gabled halls (each over three storeys high), the boiler and engine bays, a two storey parapeted section, transformer room, the switchboard platform, a single storey switch gear store, coal and ash handling hoppers, high gabled rooves and elongated louvered ventilators.

The Power House will always remain an essential part of ACT life, as it was directly involved in the early construction of Canberra city.
