Location

In the middle of a large vacant lot just east of abandoned railway line. There used to be a large and ornate brick trolley barn on this lot, which was repurposed as a beer warehouse for the adjacent Narragansett Brewery about a hundred years ago when the trolleys were replaced by buses, then private cars, then Uber..... The brewery failed as well in the 1980s, and all the structures were torn down about 20 years ago.

The 'Washington Secondary' railway branch has been repurposed as a bike path for several many beautiful miles south of this area. Open Street Maps shows the bike path continuing north as well, but that is a predictive fiction, and the overgrown right-of-way has been repurposed as a combination dump and homeless encampment.
