The Dayton & Western Drexel substation opposite Knox Avenue, looking north from Knox across 3rd Street. This was built under Ohio Electric ownership when the power system was converted from direct-fed DC to AC transmission. Substations were used step down and convert the AC power to DC for shorter runs and more reliable power delivery.
