Carrollton Station: Building the Barn

Text

The neutral ground transformed as tracks appeared on Carrollton Avenue. The Berlin Iron Bridge Company began construction on a ten-track streetcar barn one block off Carrollton Avenue to the tune of $25,000.

Iron sides, a slate roof, and steel trusses made up the new 33,920 square foot barn. The barn also included a store, oil house, woodworking space, paint shops, electric machinery room, and a blacksmith shop.
