Dec. 10, 1950: Mr. and Mrs. Louis A. Smith gardening in front of their Sun Valley streetcar home. Housing quarters are made up of retired cars that formerly operated on the Watts line. They’re all-electric and air-conditioned.
This image was published in a Dec. 10, 1950, edition of the Los Angeles Times not kept on microfilm. No further information is available about the Smith’s home. I did find one reference posted in 2009 entitled “Street Car Smith” at the Shorpy.com website. According to the post, Mr. Smith “strung [eight cars] together with short corridors between each car, using one as a kitchen, one as a family room, several as bedrooms etc.”
