PRCo. trivia

[Edward H. Lybarger]

This facility closed very early (as a car house, that is), c. 1902 or
earlier.  James Van Trump's book on Pittsburgh recollections describes the
Garden (singular, please note; it was not corrupted into "gardens" until
later) in detail.  I'll try to remember to look it up at home.

Where was this located? I have some prints from early 1967 showing  two rows
of
cars parked on what appears to be a closed street downtown with a rope
across the
front of the cars at the head of the lineup. There is a PAT supervisor and
motorman
standing there chatting and what appears to be a Port Authority pick up
truck
parked nearby. Ken J.
