Though not originally designed as housing, the streetcars were equipped with stoves for heating - thankfully they arrived just as the colder weather set in. Many residents who received these makeshift homes customized them to further endure the harsh winter conditions.
Remarkably, one of these streetcar shelters from 1922 has survived and is now preserved in the Haileybury Heritage Museum.
