Brothers L.L. and Paul N. Nunn built the Olmsted Hydro Plant at the mouth of Provo Canyon. Completed in 1903, it housed what was at the time one of the most advanced electrical training schools in the United States. Students conducted research on conductivity, insulating materials, better instruments, and learned general electric principles. The Bureau of Reclamation now owns the Olmsted Plant, although Utah Power has a contract to use the facilities to produce hydroelectric power. Buildings are still used occasionally for training programs.
