The Jefferson Street Car Barn was originally built to handle the overflow from other streetcar and trolley barns. Until the end of the city's streetcar system, this was the hub of the Seattle Municipal Railway's downtown operations.
<p>In this 1924 photo, a group of Seattle Municipal Railway employees pose for a group portrait outside the Jefferson Street Car Barn. The uniformed trainmen who worked on the cars wear round caps and metal changemakers. The men in the front row who are wearing sleeve protectors probably work in the office.
