Many thanks to local streetcar and railroad historian Ralph Cantos, with the Pacific Electric Historical Society, who shared these wonderful photos of Larchmont with us. We were inspired to take some current photos just to see what’s changed. Thanks to the architectural preservation ordinance in Windsor Square and thoughtful homeowners, the homes along the street remain very much the same size and scale, and many architectural details remain intact! We thought #TBT was a good day to share them.

These old photos are precious. We should make a concerted effort to preserve them. If you know someone whose family has lived in the neighborhood for generations, ask them to look for old photos that captured the way things were. It’s only going to get more difficult to locate such things as time passes.
