History: This stone shelter was
constructed by the Raleigh Electric Company, the second
company to operate electric streetcars in the Capital
City. The Raleigh Street Railway Company began
scheduled runs on September 1, 1891. It was reorganized in
1894 as the Raleigh Electric Company and later incorporated
into Carolina Power & Light Company. By 1915, the
system had 12 miles of track. The last electric trolley
ceased operation in 1932.
