But definitely Never in 1923 and Never at Mason Ave Station. That whole facility at Mason Ave was new and State of the art when they built it.

This is Not the Mason Ave location. Also Houdini was in Providence in 1925. I wonder if the 3 authors of the North Attleboro book did any research to confirm their Houdini claim.

Houdini's life and schedule are well documented and in short time this story could be proven to be a hoax or the truth.
