Description:
Built in 1905. The cars of the Sellwood, Eastmoreland, and Errol Heights Lines. Also where you transferred on to the Estacada and Cazadero Interurban lines.
This was the last standing trolley barn in Portland, and would have qualified for Portland's registry of historic buildings. The property was donated to Reed College, and then the plastics company went into bankruptcy. Assessment revealed hydraulic oil, toluene, and lead under the building and in the soil, as well as substantial amounts of asbestos in the building itself. The property was sold, cleaned, and finally demolished in 2005.
The east-facing original wall has been left standing.
