Death Valley Ranch, Power House, Death Valley Junction, Inyo County, CA
Summary
Significance: The Power House reflects Albert Johnson's pre-occupation with new technologies and his desire to make the Ranch as self-sufficient and as comfortable as possible. The Power House was originally designed to house three separate electrical generators; the Gospel Foundation added two new ones that supplanted the original three. This facility generated all electricity until 1964, when commercial power was brought to the Ranch.
