Washington-Mason Cable Car Barn & Powerhouse (Cable Car Museum)

The Cable Car Museum is housed in the Washington-Mason cable car barn and powerhouse and displays several historic cable cars and the original winding machinery. Visitors can see the massive sheaves and motors that drive the cables, equipment that directly supports San Francisco's historic cable car lines. The building preserves industrial architecture and technology associated with the city's 19th- and early-20th-century transit system.
