History: The Building

Chartered in 1886, the trolley helped transform Yonkers from a densely packed urban core to a booming suburban city; by 1911 the Yonkers system was serving over 14 million passengers annually.

METRO92 is located in a former trolley barn, a three-story brick building built in 1900 in the Renaissance Revival style, forming a V-shape at the corner of Main Street and Buena Vista Avenue. It was formerly used by the City of Yonkers –as a “resting” place for a fleet of trolley cars that wove throughout this bustling City in the over a century ago.
