The body of #639 was acquired in 1957, from secondary service in Little Hocking, Ohio, the only instance known in which a streetcar was converted into a doctor's office and pharmaceutical dispensary. After the doctor died, vandals had scattered and smashed numerous bottles of unknown medicines and other liquids that accelerated the general deterioration of a decade of benign neglect. The body was donated to the Museum by the doctor's daughter, Majel Amerine of Columbus.
