Electric car recharging stations in downtown Portland, Oregon. If you know Portland at all you'll not be surprised ;)

A whole mock-up at the Overland Trail Museum, Sterling, Colorado, USA. At least they have an electric stove now! I think the cooler is just an icebox rather than an actual refrigerator, however. Note the ad on the door touting cigarette smoking as a dietary aid! At this point women smoking was no longer remarkable.

Bodie, California, USA. Bodie was the first Western mining camp of any size to electrify, in the early 1890s. They built a dam and hydroelectric generating station on Green Creek, in the Sierras, and ran a powerline to Bodie, a straight-line distance of 15 miles or so. The state of electrical knowledge was so primitive that they thought they had to keep the line as straight as possible, because electricity would spill off the corners! This was probably the sort of big motor that ran things like the lathe (next pic) with an external belt.

OSHA would have a fit... Bodie, California, USA. As I mentioned, Bodie was one of the first camps to electrify, in the 1890s. They built a hydropower plant on Green Creek in the Sierra Nevada, about 15 straight-line miles away, and ran a line straight to Bodie. "Straight" literally--the state of electrical knowledge was so primitive they thought they had to keep the powerline as straight as possible, so electricity wouldn't spill off at the corners!
