Old Substation


On the corner of Lisbon & 3rd Street in Wellsville across from the gas station at one time there was an electric substation on the hillside. Believe it was owned and operated by Ohio Edison.


The substation and the building are long gone but this is what it looked like in my younger days. Believe it was taken out in the 60s when they made Route 7 into a four lane. Later on the land was used as a car lot by the Koontz Auto Sales before they moved to 3rd & Broadway. The front of the building started falling a few years ago and it had to be razed.
