The brick border on the plaza area in front of you marks the location of the underground foundation and cellar of an oil house built about 1870.

This oil house is the earliest known oil storage and distribution facility at the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western's Scranton yard. In 1912, when a new oil house was constructed, this building was converted to store the railroad yard's waste oil.
