The City then leased it to the Revere Society for Cultural & Historic Preservation, which converted the building into a 14room Revere History Museum. While the building was successfully converted into a museum, and remains open today, insulating the walls and making the building more energy effi - cient has been impossible with outdated knob and tube electrical wiring in the walls. As a result, Northeast Metro Tech students are replacing the wiring with a modern standard electrical system while also building upon their classroom learning by applying their skills. Students will install new codeJunior Lucas Taff arrell, of Malden, replaces wiring in the Revere History Museum.

She further stated, “Everyone at Northeast Metro Tech has been wonderful and the students are really learning a lot from the experience. It’s not often you get to transform from knob and tube to modern electrical in a building of this size. It’s been an excellent experience for us to work with students, and it’s a great opportunity for the City to have this work done so we can make this building more energy effi cient.” 10% Off Senior Discount!
