Streetcar Depot, West Los Angeles : ウィキペディア英語版 | Streetcar Depot, West Los Angeles
The Streetcar Depot on the grounds of the Sawtelle Veterans Home was designed in conjunction with the Wadsworth Chapel by J. Lee Burton in 1900. Both were listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. This station was formerly the Los Angeles Pacific Railroad terminus of the "Soldier's Home Branch," a short extension of the "Santa Monica Air Line" (what is now the Expo Line), starting at Home Junction and continuing north in a (still somewhat intact) private right-of-way on the west side of Sepulveda Boulevard to end at this station. The depot also served the Balloon Route. The line was maintained, but only sporadically used, until 1953 when passenger service on the Air Line was eliminated. The right-of-way was kept intact, but eventually sold piecemeal for building development making any restoration of service highly unlikely. ==Design==
Designed in the Eastlake style, the building is similar to another still-standing structure that was connected to the same streetcar line: The Palms Depot Building.〔
