A view of the demolished boiler house looking toward Porter Street from Standard Avenue in Springdale on Sunday, March 9, 2025.

Since the Springdale smokestacks fell in the summer of 2023, the Cheswick Generating Plant’s boiler structure has stared down its final days. For almost two years, lawsuits, weather conditions and delays have hindered the final deconstruction efforts.

That changed on March 8 when the remaining portion of the structure was pulled down.

Kellen Stepler joins host Zac Gibson to discuss the details of the Springdale plant structures from their inception to their impending demolition.
