Detroit's Public Lighting Department was created through the vision of Mayor Hazen Pingree (1889-1897). Setting its own prices for electricity, it was designed to keep the prices of privately owned power competitors honest. Today, PLD owns over 30 substations scattered throughout the city. Intertwined within each neighborhood, these buildings are monuments to a once great City's need for power and each pays respect to classic institutional architecture. As you drive through the city, see if you can spot these hidden gems.
