Long before electricity and natural gas were common, these facilities generated ‘coal gas’ or ‘town gas’, a byproduct of coke ovens, to power street lamps, home appliances and machinery. These massive storage tanks were actually the last stop, used to store gas and maintain a constant pressure in the underground supply pipelines. Moveable sections rose to increase storage capacity when demand was less, and lowered as demand increased.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003e With its intricate detail and easy construction, this model marks the first time an American-prototype gas storage tank is available.
