Chartered in 1886, Home Electric first was located on Blair Ave. In 1893, it relocated here on So. Logan Ave. The 1½-story building, 120'×40', had a stone foundation, brick load-bearing walls, and timber rafters. In 1902, the Altoona and Logan Valley Electric Railway Co. built a trolley line from Altoona to Tyrone. In 1910, the railway company purchased the plant and converted into a car barn. In the late 1930s, the trolleys were disbanded. 
    After several owners, a trucking firm last used the building as a maintenance garage. The building, having been scheduled for demolition in 1990, was purchased in July 1991 and currently is being converted into an activity building.
