Interurban Power Substation
This substation is located at the corner of Hanthorn and Greely Chapel Roads. When used as a substation for the interurban it transformed high voltage alternating current to the 600 volts direct current to be used by the Interurban passenger cars. For over 50 years it has been used as the clubhouse for the Lima Motorcycle Club.
