Brodhead Electric Power Plant
subject: Electric power plant, C. W. Lucas, Dr. G. Bennett, A. F. Anderson, Clark's Drug Store, C. N. Pierce.
description: The electric power plant in Brodhead, Wisconsin. The photo was taken from the top of the old water tower. The plant was located at 1201 Eleventh Street. It used water power from the Mill Race that was originally dug to provide power to turn the large mill stone in the grain mill. Brodhead was one of the first cities in Wisconsin to have electrical power. The plant started producing power in 1889 and was built by C. W. Lucas and Dr. G. Bennett. It was run by A. F. Anderson. At first the plant only ran from dark until midnight, unless there was a dance or big celebration, when it ran sometimes until 2 AM. At first it was direct current, which meant the further you were from the plant the less power you had. At the beginning they did not have meters so the cost was 70 cents a month per 16 candle power lamp. The very first lamp was at Clark's drugstore. C. N. Pierce owned the plant for a time and it was purchased by the city in about 1914. The plant stopped producing power in the mid 1960's. The building no longer exists.

Brodhead Flouring Mill
subject: Brodhead Flouring Mill, Decatur, John Hendrie, Thomas Hendrie, H.B. Stewart, S.C. Pierce, Raceway.
description: In the 1850s a flour mill was very important to a growing town. The village of Decatur had one at the dam on Decatur Lake and the Sugar River on the north edge of the village. It was owned by John and Thomas Hendrie. When Decatur missed out on the railroad the brothers knew their future was in Brodhead. The village fathers wanted a mill and talked the brothers into moving their business to Brodhead, The problem being no water power at Brodhead to power the mill. The village gave the Hendries $8000 to build a raceway to Brodhead to run the mill. They started construction in 1860, but ran out of money in 1862 with it two- thirds completed. H.B. Stewart and S.C. Pierce came to the rescue by buying half interest in the venture for $7000. The raceway was completed by May of 1863 and a mill was built where the raceway turns back toward the Sugar River on 11th Street a block west of West Third Avenue. It was a three story building with 5 large stones, that ground 100 bushels of flour a day. The mill was an important part of Brodhead until it was destroyed by fire in 1929. An electrical power plant was built on it's site.
