A view from a boat on the East River toward Con Edison’s Waterside Generating Station between East 38th and East 40th Streets. Four smokestacks and the plant’s waterfront coal-handling equipment dominate the foreground, while the Chrysler Building rises behind the industrial complex. The generating station was closed in 2005 and later demolished.
