Exploring the Jordan River old power House, Filming the remains of the old Jordan River Power Station, Camera, Sony PXW FS7, Operator, Eric Backman Horror Music by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution licence (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) Artist: http://audionautix.com/ The Vancouver Island Power Company completed construction of the Jordan River hydroelectric system in 1911. While the shell of the old powerhouse still stands on its concrete foundation today, gone are the glory days when it produced the power that ran the City of Victoria. Old records show that the first power reached Victoria on September 10, 1911. While the building has changed dramatically from the days when the roar of its turbines drowned out conversation, though it is surrounded by encroaching alders, there is an aura still, a haunting reminder of the days when it helped light up southern Vancouver Island.
