Description

In 1933, a young couple, Leland Maxeiner and Josephine Gaskill, wanted to marry, and decided upon a unique and affordable alternative to purchasing or building a house--they purchased and remodeled a 1900 Pullman chair car, from a salvage yard of the Chicago and Alton Railroad. The coach is now 107 years old, and is just as satisfactory a residence today as it was back then.
