The Boston Edison Power Station is a historic power station at 374 Homer Street in Newton, Massachusetts. The single story stuccoed masonry building was built in 1904, and enlarged to its present size by additions in 1910 and 1913. It was originally built to provide direct current for electric streetcars, but its service was expanded to provide power distribution for the entire area. It was designed by Bigelow and Wadsworth, and is an important historical component in the early period of the city's electrification.[2]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.[1]
