"The Esterle power plant was particularly well looked after from an architectural point of view since it had to be representative of the Edison company that had built it. It appears more like a Lombard villa of delight than a real industrial apparatus. The effort was remarkable. integration of the building into the surrounding area, completed in the early years of the twentieth century, during the construction of the power plant.Today it represents a significant example of monumental industrial archeology and is known for its particular beauty.

The building, built in a style derived from the Lombard eclectic tradition, consists of a large rectangular body with a gable roof inside which the engine room is located. It is characterized by meticulous ornaments, strictly repeated geometric and floral motifs. The columns and capitals at the entrance, the lampposts and the finely wrought iron eaves together with the impressive Gothic-style stained glass windows, make the building a precious architectural jewel.

Inside, the walls and ceiling of the engine room were decorated with great care, as are the floors, street lamps, lamps and numerous wrought iron furnishings.

In addition to the main building there are two adjacent volumes: the first, towards the river, constitutes the entrance to the engine room while the second, on the opposite side, is the arrival room of the penstocks. On the hill behind the plant there is a third body that encloses part of the loading basin and the inlets of the penstocks that feed the turbines. "
