context_page_description: The Smuggler-Union Hydroelectric Powerplant, also known as the Bridal Veil Powerhouse, is an electric power generation plant and residence located next to Bridal Veil Falls on a 400-foot cliff overlooking Telluride, Colorado. The structure is 2-1/2 stories on a poured concrete foundation with a wood frame superstructure. It consists of a main power plant building, a 1-1/2 story residence and a 1-story cookhouse. The power plant foundation is distinctive, with semicircular windows. A semicircular bay with arched windows projects out on a rock spur.
