North Creek Section House

  This southern half of this tool house was probably built in 1890 and was located on the west side of the tracks until it was moved to its present location in c.1915.  A 1918 photo shows the peak facing the tracks then at a later date it was turned 90 degrees and the smaller northern section added on.  This may have been done at the same time in the 40's that the turntable and engine house were built.
  It was restored in the late 90's by the County.

2008 Rear View - Here you can see the earlier stone foundation on the south end with the later section added on the north end.  Nothing like railroad ties for a lousy foundation!
