Pacific Electric streetcar outside Angelus Temple, Echo Park, Los Angeles, November 3, 1950

Pacific Electric streetcar outside Angelus Temple, Echo Park, Los Angeles, November 3, 1950This pair of Pacific Electric streetcars were on Glendale Boulevard in Echo Park when this photo was taken on November 3, 1950. In the background we can see the dome of the Angelus Temple, which was the 5,300-seat spiritual home of radio evangelist, Aimee Semple McPherson. The streetcars are, of course, long gone, but the temple is still there and still home to the Foursquare Church that she founded. It now has a capacity of nearly 9,000 people.

    These Hollywood cars are taking the short cutoff that leads from Glendale onto the main lines on Sunset to continue the outbound run toward Sanborn Junction area on the east side of Hollywood. This short street was the connection between the routes.
