The first Paint Shop, built prior to 1894, was on the site of the current turntable lead between the Farm House and the current Paint Shop. originally designated the Car House. By 1904 a new car house had been constructed and the name was changed. That building burned to the ground with locomotive #4 inside on September 8, 1908. The nearby Car Shop (also referred to as the Boiler Shop) also burned. A new, but also wood frame, Paint Shop was built in 1908 on the site, but slightly further north of the current shop. A bus garage was added to the building in 1929. On July 8, 1933 the Bus Garage and Paint Shop burned again. In 1933 the present Paint Shop was built.

As it's name indicates, this is where cars and locomotives were painted after being built or serviced.

The building is used today to house M-4 and M-6 MOW switchers and the M-3 inspection car. It is in good repair.
