Two coal- fired boilers and two giant air compressor-steam engine flywheel combinations were originally enclosed within the same building. Boiler fronts are gone and a number of metal parts have been stolen for scrap metal. The boilers provided steam to power the engines which in turn drove the compressors that provided air for pneumatic tools in the quarries and stone sheds. The large air compressors, built by Chicago Pneumatic Tool Co., were installed in 1903 and 1905.
