The Building
Built in 1911 by The Milwaukee Electric Railway and Light Company (TMERL)
Operated as a manned electrical substation for 70 years until being retired in 1981
All the electrical equipment is long gone, but the original 20 Ton bridge crane made by Pawling & Harnischfeger remains (though no longer in service)
Building was sold several times over the last few decades, being used primarily for storage until we bought it in 2016
Building first being constructed circa 1911
Below: Undated Images. Believe some of the original equipment has already been removed by this time. What it likely looked for several decades until being retired in 1981
Below: Images shortly after we bought the building in 2016
