Electric Trolley Substation - Burrillville RI - Historic Transformer Sub-Stations Buildings on Waymarking.com

Electric Trolley Substation (early 20th century): A tall 2-story, flat-roof brick building of pier and panel construction, with a symmetrical facade containing a single range of large-scale arched door and window openings, corbelled brickwork at the cornice, and a paneled roof parapet. The structure originally had a classical cornice of pressed metal which was removed within the past eight years. Constructed as an electric-power station for a streetcar line operating between Woonsocket and Pascoag, this building was later used for carding wool and then as a furniture factory. It currently houses a small-engine repair shop.
