Description:

The powerhouse and car barns for the DUR were located on the east side of Main Street near the Paint Creek, just north of Fifth Street (University Drive). These buildings were built (1899-1900) when the interurban line was extended through Rochester. The car barns burned in 1923 and the other buildings were razed in the mid-1930s when the line was discontinued.
