Where am I? The photo contest

Not my photo (actually taken by MassDEP in 2008) but here's one that baffled me for a bit.

Looks like a good one for the "Ode to Brutalism" thread. ;)

Redditor (ugh) posted this on Reddit. It's cover art for an Alarm album from the 80s.


First two images are Central Artery but this one .. I admit, I'm stumped (never happens). Wasn't there a "gear" like this in South Boston across from the Gillette building where the welding company is?

(There's currently a red railroad something in that area but I don't mean that one.)

That thing is almost certainly a generator from a 1890s power plant, but I can't tell you where you could find one outdoors and seemingly disconnected in 1960s Boston.
