The Historic Smokestack located in Mayer, AZ, USA was built in 1927 by Southern California Edison Company as part of a power plant complex that supplied electricity across Arizona and California. Its distinctive spiral design features slender steel ribs winding upwards towards the sky, helping increase structural stability against harsh weather conditions. Over 100 workers constructed this colossal structure using hand-operated cranes and simple tools. The smokestack was designated a historic site in 1985 by the National Register of Historic Places. When visiting, imagine the time when coal smoke filled the air and industrial power drove Americas growth.
