Welsford Fruit Company warehouse
Welsford Fruit Company Warehouse, Somerset
Mile 11.19 on the Weston Subdivision at Somerset
This apple warehouse was owned by a co-operative of apple farmers from the Welsford area just north of the warehouse, including members of the Fuller family. It included extensive windows and dormers to light and heat the packing rooms. After the demise of the North Mountain Line, it was bought by Earle Fuller and converted first to house laying hens and later to a barn with cattle in the basement and hay in the upper floors. Despite the new use, the warehouse retained most of its apple warehouse features.
