It was built in 1930 and served Harvey and much of Wells County with electric power until 1954. It was the city's first and only power plant.[2]

Its nomination for National Register listing was considered by the North Dakota State Historic Preservation Review Board, located in Bismarck, at its April 24, 2020 meeting via web conference.[2] It was officially listed on June 5, 2020.[1]

A webpage of Rosin Preservation states, as of February 2021, that:

This former Harvey power plant is being converted into a mental health “oasis” to serve this rural region of North Dakota. Once renovated, the building will serve as a physical symbol and metaphor for the mental and emotional healing offered within its walls.[3]
