This 20th Century streetcar was moved from Kankakee, Illinois, to Gardner, Illinois in 1932.  In Gardner, it served as a diner on Route 66.

In 1937, the streetcar became a cottage and playhouse.

In 1955, it was moved to behind the Riviera Roadhouse. After the Riviera Roadhouse was destroyed by a fire in 2010, the streetcar diner was saved by the Route 66 Association of Illinois, moved to its current location, and restored.

This streetcar was included in a scene in the independent film, "The Nest" - filmed in 2008.
