I believe the article, currently stub rated, merits Start class rating, because:
I'm just not sure about the existence of any official site. Another start criterion is:
The owner would probably be Niagara Mohawk, which was owner back in 1973. But I can't find any site describing the Adams Power Plant Transformer House as open as a museum or anything. So I think there is no "official site" to link to. doncram 02:58, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
Historic American Buildings Survey photos for the Edward Adams Power Plant complex are available and are public domain. At HABS, search on "Adams Power Plant". Click on icon to get to 15 available photos. Try HABS page on the Adams Power Plant (is this a static link?). The transformer house seems to appear in the front left of photograph #12, for example. Photo 12 and 8 would add nicely to the article. Need to be cropped and uploaded to Commons with appropriate credits. doncram 21:02, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

The most commonly repeated closure date, including in this Wikipedia article, is 1961, when the Robert Moses plant came on line. However, I know from personal knowledge that this date is totally impossible. I have a whole page supporting reasons why 1961 and generators in the transformer house are both impossible. There are also other dates, as early as 1916, when the three Canadian plants came on line. However, after much research, I suggest that Adams probably closed in 1924, when Schoellkopf 3C came on line and Adams' water allocation was reassigned to Schoellkopf 3C. In the 1950s, Adams was already gutted/salvaged and the transformer house was contained three rotary converts, owned by Union Carbide. Adams was also unstaffed, with anything that needed done by a Traveling Operator, one of whom was my father. If anyone is interested, I can send you a paper on the subject and all citations and logic are in the paper.
