First, I'm not sure what it is that we learn about optimal location of utilities from the location of a power plant built in 1911.

Second, while this particular building may not be on the riverfront, the zoning map posted above showed that the restrictions -- e.g. no residential, no mixed-use -- apply on a significant stretch of riverfront property.
