A Streetcar Named Desire? or “South High”


There are many people in Clintonville who can remember riding the various forms of transportation running up and down High Street. Here’s one.

Local rail expert Alex Campbell says,

That photograph was taken in the storage yard across from the North High Car House (next to Arcadia). The destination sign reads “S. High St.”.

This particular run would be north-south High St. The end of the line in 1947 was near Merrett St. on the south side to Blenheim Road.
