Converted from paper version of the Broad Ripple Gazette (v13n15)
Random Rippling - Interurban sub-station
posted: Jul. 22, 2016
When the floor was recently taken up (during the asbestos abatement) at American Legion Broad Ripple Post #3, 6379 College Avenue [E3 on map], the concrete floor underneath was exposed. The Gazette was called in for a peek. There were cracks in that floor indicating where the original work pit was when the building served as a sub-station for the interurban train system. The interurban train cars would pull into the building from the south and workers could service the cars from the floor pit.
