Built in 1904 and twice enlarged, it is a significant reminder of the city's early electrification efforts, providing power to both area buildings and the local streetcar network.

It is a single-story structure, finished in stucco and brick, with a flattened hip roof.

The angled portion of the roof is red tile, with exposed rafter ends in the eaves below.

The narrow central section has a bricked-over garage-style entrance, framed by a leaf-molded cast stone surround.
