Description:
This wooden trolley carbarn & powerhouse was built in 1890 for the old Waverly-Woodstock line. The W-W was a response by eastside Portlanders to the electrification of other lines occuring downtown and up north in the Albina nieghborhood. As the small companies merged or were folded into larger and larger companies, ending with the PRL&P, the barn was used for storage of little-used equipment and trolleys. Cleveland High is peeking around the corner on the right. The tracks used to come down 26th and then jog to the southeast to 28th on what is now Kelton. I don't know when the barn was torn down.
