Tucked away in the woodlands of Pennsylvania lies a unique fleet of streamlined 1930s and 1950s streetcars. These St Louis and Pullman-Standard carriages have glorious vintage Americana vibes.
Many of these date to the height of the Streamline Moderne era. At this time, streamlined aerodynamic forms replaced the geometric shapes and excessive ornamentation of the earlier Art Deco style.

"At J. W. Tufts' arctic pavilion... may be seen the largest and most magnificent soda water apparatus in the world. Its towering height of costly marbles, and its elegant architecture, (embellished with a tropical garden) ... altogether constitutes the grandest achievement of this description that has ever been accomplished.
"Its immense ice-cavern is reached by a flight of stairs from the cellar, and in its ample space, numbers of workmen perform their duties of supplying it with ice and its delicious fruit syrups, with perfect freedom. Height, 33 feet. Value $25,000. Pay it a visit."
