Join us as 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 beach retreat on the sand dunes south of Golden Gate Park, where prominent bohemians, judges, lady bicyclists, and sand-bath-prescribing physicians transformed old transit vehicles 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 journalists worked, played, and enjoyed the “oddest village in the world.”
