Battery #131 Power room
Camp Hayden, HD Puget Sound
A.M.T.B. btry Ft. Flagler.

The power room area actually consists of seven different rooms including; a latrine, two dehumidification rooms, an auxiliary generator room, a water cooler room, a work room and the power room proper. There are also a pair of vent tunnels, one for the generator exhaust (the muffler gallery) and one for the water cooler room.

The floor level in the power room is four feet lower than in the front corridor, so the ceiling height is 12 and a half feet rather than the 8 and a half that the rooms off the front corridor are built to.
