Yes.  In fact, a friend of mine got married there last summer, ceremony and
reception were held in the building.  I could not make it, unfortunately, but if
I had, would have more details of what it looks like and what's left to remind
one that it was a car house.

Interesting.  Now I know exactly where that carhouse was.  Further down
Brownsville Rd (inbound) on the same side of the street, a friend tells me that
there was a car house where the Carrick Eagles and Brownsville Inn now is.  I
find that hard to believe since those buildings are on a part of Brownsville that
is on a bluff.  Behind the buildings is a steady drop to streets below.   Anyone
know about a carhouse on this site?

Was there an actual Glenwood car barn?  I see several buildings near the old
administration building, in the back and about a block over to the left, but not
sure
which, if any of these buildings could have been a barn.

Would this have been for the Sarah Street horse carline?

Yes.  Magee expanded somewhat, and a part of a building stands on the former
Craft Avenue grounds, but for the most part, it is just paved parking lot over
what was the Craft streetcar parking lot.

I think so - at least driving out that way once a few years back, I recall seeing
a PAT sign on a building in that vicinity.   Anybody else?

Wasn't it used for buses for awhile after the 2 & 3 lines were abandoned?
