Back in February I posted a photograph of a small old brick building in the woods off Route 123. I and a couple of readers speculated that it might have been an old pump house, mostly because it’s near a water source.
However, this slightly bigger building in North Scituate is pretty similar, and a friend tells me that it used to be a fire alarm relay station. If you look along the roof line, you can see where the hookup for the lines would have been.
Another item for my research list!
Interesting. I doubt there’s much need for a fire alarm relay station anymore. Still, these abandoned buildings do make for great photos.
They’re interesting buildings – seems a shame something couldn’t be done with them, though then again, what exactly could be done with them?
I do love an abandoned building – they’re very evocative.
