Preserving CTCo. 27, One Detail at a Time!

Written By Cory A. Van Horn

Eliot Feldman is holding his completed work, carefully matched to existing pieces.

Restoring a historic streetcar often requires skilled craftsmanship to reproduce the details that make a car historically accurate.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Eliot Feldman, a member of the Montgomery County Woodturners, who generously donated his time and expertise to help with the restoration of Capital Traction Company car No. 27.

Eliot used his woodturning skills to create new hand pulls and window guards for the car, carefully matching the existing pieces. His work is helping us restore the interior of No. 27 while preserving the craftsmanship and character of the original streetcar.

We are incredibly grateful to Eliot for sharing his time and talent with the National Capital Trolley Museum. Thank you, Eliot, for helping us preserve Washington's streetcar history!
