Steam locomotives lived here! Originally covered with a brick pattern asphalt siding, its been recovered with aluminum siding. The 3 doors have also been changed. They would keep the No 8 in the middle stall, and the No 7 a Baldwin 0-6-0 was kept in the right stall until it was scrapped at Fox Point in Providence, Rhode Island. |
