Title

Power Station - ca 1901
Concord, Maynard & Hudson Street Railway

Description

The electricity to run the trolley was generated in this building. It was a brick building with iron trusses, 48 by 120 ft., covered with a wood roof overlaid with tar and gravel.
The interior of the structure had two Babcock & Wilcox boilers supplying steam to two 350 horsepower engines directly connected to a Westinghouse 350kw, 550 volt direct current generator.
A spur track of the Marlboro Branch of the Boston & Maine RR allowed the delivery of coal to the back of the building.

The power house was later converted to St. Casimir's Church when the C, M & H went out of business in the early 1920's.
