The old Powerhouse is a former hydro-electric power building located in Stoney Creek, Hamilton, Ontario. Built in 1894, the building was made to provide power to the local electric railways. However, the power plant only lasted 4 years, as the water in the creek ran too low to run the turbines. The creek has since been rerouted away from the building.
After 85 years the building was turned into The Powerhouse restaurant.
