Info

Crawford Generating Station was a coal−fired power plant built in 1924. It was formerly located in South Lawndale community of the West Side district, in Chicago, Illinois.
It was closed in 2012 after a long battle with the community over pollution, like the nearby Fisk Generating Station. Both stations were owned and operated by Midwest Generation, a subsidiary of Edison International. Crawford and Fisk Stations were among the last standing coal generating facilities within a major U.S. city at their time of retirement.
