The Roslindale substation
By adamg - 4/9/11 - 1:40 pm
Roslindale Village Main Street had an open house at the hulking edifice in Roslindale Square, in part to solicit ideas on what to to with it. The BRA, which owns the long unused structure, has given the group and Historic Boston a year to come up with a plan. Even without giant transformers, it remains a fascinating - and dangerous - place to explore: One guide had to keep shooing me away from flimsy planks covering holes. It's two levels full of mysterious objects and spaces.

That is beyond way cool. Could it be condos, the way people have made the old breweries, or the old textile mills, into living spaces? It's like getting to go back in history, to see how things used to be. A museum would be great, too, but probably would cost too much to fix up and maintain. Thanks to the people who opened up the space so the public could come and admire.
Wicked cool!
