Woody LaBounty shares the story of Carville-by-the-Sea, one of the quirkiest and least-remembered communities in San Francisco’s history. Carville flowered as an 1890s Ocean Beach retreat on the sand dunes south of Golden Gate Park, where old transit vehicles were transformed into cottages, clubhouses, bars, and churches. See what creative carpenters of a century ago made with obsolete horsecars, cable cars, and trolley cars, and where famous capitalists, writers, painters, and lady bicyclists worked, played, and enjoyed the “oddest village in the world.”
