Description 

This structure was originally built in 1934 in North Adams. It was disassembled in 1959 and stored in the maintenance yard of MDPW (Orchard Street, Dalton). The truss and most of the floorbeams were salvaged/reconstructed at its current location (Cottage Street). (Source: Construction Plan Set Dated Nov. 1961, Sheet 5 of 6)
