Commonwealth Edison Substation, Chicago

Commonwealth Edison Substation, Chicago

This amazing relief is on the front of the Commonwealth Edison Electricity Substation in Chicago. The substation was designed by Holabird and Root in 1931.

The relief shows a male figure staddling a city while he directs a pair of lightning bolts to provide power to the buildings below.
