PROJECT OVERVIEW
Boston’s Roslindale Substation was rehabilitated by Historic Boston Incorporated (HBI), Roslindale Village Main Street (RVMS), and the Peregrine Group LLC into a 4,000-square-foot restaurant and support space. Ryan’s Historic Tax Credits team helped to secure $1.5 million in federal and state historic tax credits for the rehabilitation.
The Revival style substation was originally built and designed by Robert Swain Peabody of Peabody and Stearns and Stone and Webster Engineers in 1911. The station originally functioned as a part of the Boston Elevated Railway Company’s alternating electric current power system that ran the city’s trolleys. The station later became a part of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority and remained in operation until 1971.
