Identify this factory near Belle Isle?

For all old time Eastsiders... that is the former remains of the locally famous "7 sisters and 2 brothers"... the legendary Edison power plants on the lower east side near Conner below Jefferson. They tore down the "7 sisters" over 25 years ago, and the "2 brothers" came down more recently...

Had an apartment at Alden Park Towers in the mid-80s. On a couple of occasions, I found a thin layer of soot on my car in the morning. One of my neighbors said it was Edison "blowing out" the furnaces overnight at Connor Creek. I never confirmed that, but it made sense knowing that it was a coal-burning plant.

I grew up in that Indian Village area and there was often soot on our cars in the morning. In those days a lot of it was from the Uniroyal plant on Jefferson next to the Belle Isle Bridge, but depending on which way the wind was blowing it could also come from that Edison power plant. My grandparents and other relatives lived in the Jefferson-Chalmers area south of Jefferson and they would have to wash their cars and the windows in their houses often because of the soot.
