The St Charles line operates down the 'neutral zone' through the Garden District of New Orleans LA. Here, one of the Perley Thomas streetcars, built in 1923-24 passes the Van Benthuysen-Elms Mansion, built in 1869 for former Confederate Officer Watson Van Benthuysen. It later became the German Consulate from 1931 to 1941. It is now preserved at 3029 St Charles Avenue. It is often the venue for weddings and other special occasions.
