Regarding Barnesdale Streetcar Stop 1908. This shelter used to serve the stop near Barnesdale, on the west side of Martindale Pond, near the business Stoke's Seeds. After the NS&T streetcar shut down around 1959, some local person saved the shelter on their property. Within the last decade, the person offered and provided the shelter back to the city as an information booth.
