It is located along the south side of the Maumee River at 18t Street. There are similarities in the styles of the Water Street Station and Station. Unlike the Power Station, the Acme station employs steel industrial windows in the masonry constructed along the Maumee to provide the necessary power needs for the Toledo community. G. W.

By 1908, the company was providing the energy for all of Toledo's gas, electric, traction, and steam utilities and a second turbine was added to the plant. In 1913, Henry L.
Doherty of the Cities Service Company assumed control over the plant and a third turbine was installed to provide an additional 12,500 kilowatts. Two more turbines were added in 1915 and 1916, to meet the industrial demands of such nationally known industrial companies as Champion Spark Plug, Willys-Overland, Libbey Glass, and Toledo Scale. Doherty's expansion increased the employee count from 1,500 employees in 1914 to 2,750 over the next six years. In addition, under his control22,500 new customers were acquired, increasing the electric meters from 14,000 in 1914 to 37,000 in 1919. The power station load increased from 26,800-horse power to side of the Maumee River. It became Toledo's main provider of power, thereby easing the load on the Water Street Station. In 1918 Toledo's streetcar drivers threatened to strike.
A strike in 1916 had ended in two weeks, when the federal court ruled in favor of the 3-cent fare increase to provide the funds for salary for the operators. The second strike in 1918, again ruled in favor of a fare increase, and proclaimed that the streetcar service. On June 30,1919, city council passed an ordinance denying the streetcar company large jitney transport operation with over 1,500 jitneys running in the Toledo area subsidized the lack of public transportation.

Doherty and the city disputed over the takeover Company, abandoned two trolley lines in 1921 and one additional in 1922. That same year, the CTC received approval to institute bus service on a portion of the Oak Street line.
With the conversions from trolley to bus lines the Water Street Station efforts were turned towards commercial power? In 1929 the Water Street Station was converted to a steam heat supplier for downtown office buildings, stores, hotels, and theaters.
