Palms-Southern Pacific Railroad Depot is a historic railroad depot built between 1886 and 1888 in what is now the Palms section of Los Angeles, California. The two-story wood depot was originally located at the corner of National Boulevard and Vinton Avenue. From the 1920s to the 1940s, the motion picture business became the dominant business in the Palms-Culver City area, and movie stars, including Clark Gable, could be seen getting off the Red Cars on their way to work at the nearby studios.

| - Palms-Southern Pacific Railroad Depot is a historic railroad depot built between 1886 and 1888 in what is now the Palms section of Los Angeles, California. The two-story wood depot was originally located at the corner of National Boulevard and Vinton Avenue. In 1928, an “old-timer” told the Los Angeles Times that decades before the Palms station had been known as “Grasshopper Station” because at the time “grasshoppers were present in veritable clouds.” The Southern Pacific later changed the station's name to “The Palms”, and the surrounding community adopted the name. As one of only two depots on the fifteen-mile route between Los Angeles and Santa Monica (the other being the Ivy station in Culver City), the Palms Depot served as the hub of a growing agricultural community. From the 1920s to the 1940s, the motion picture business became the dominant business in the Palms-Culver City area, and movie stars, including Clark Gable, could be seen getting off the Red Cars on their way to work at the nearby studios. In 1953, the Red Car line was shut down, and the depot was abandoned. As the surrounding area became a suburban residential community, the depot became “a symbol of another day and reflective of what has happened to Palms”. In the early 1960s, the Culver-Palms Boy Scout Troop 49 undertook a beautification of the depot building and used it as a meeting place. The Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Board declared the building to be a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument in 1963; it was the 22nd structure to receive the historic monument designation. Despite the designation, the depot remained vacant, was victimized by vandals and graffiti, and fell into serious disrepair in the early 1970s. The Los Angeles Fire Department ultimately condemned the structure, but preservationists sought to save it from demolition. In 1976, the Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Foundation raised funds to move the structure to Heritage Square Museum in Montecito Heights. The depot presently sits at the entrance to Heritage Square and houses the museum gift shop. (en)
- La Palms-Southern Pacific Railroad Depot è una vecchia e storica stazione-deposito, ai tempi appartenente alla Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway, costruita tra il 1886 ed il 1888. Lo stabile, in legno a due piani, era originariamente situato all'angolo tra National Boulevard e Vinton Avenue a Los Angeles. Quando il deposito venne aperto, questi era meglio noto come "Grasshopper Stop" ("Fermata della Cavalletta"), perché all'epoca sciami di cavallette erano spesso presenti sul posto come nuvole. La Southern Pacific in seguito cambiò il nome della stazione in "The Palms", facendo cambiare nome anche alla comunità circostante. Essendo uno dei due soli depositi su una linea ferroviaria di quindici miglia tra Los Angeles e Santa Monica (l'altra era la di Culver City), il deposito divenne il fulcro di una crescente comunità agricola. Fra gli anni '20 e gli anni '40, il business cinematografico divenne dominante nell'area fra e Culver City; star del cinema, tra cui Clark Gable, potevano essere visti passare mentre andavano a lavorare negli studi vicini. Celebre fu anche l'ultima scena del corto Concerto di violoncello, girata proprio dinanzi alla stazione, con protagonisti Stan Laurel ed Oliver Hardy. Nel 1953, venne chiusa la Red Car line ed il deposito fu abbandonato. Dato che l'area circostante divenne una comunità residenziale suburbana, il deposito divenne a sua volta un simbolo del declino circostante. All'inizio degli anni '60, la truppa 49 dei Culver-Palms Boy Scout intraprese l'abbellimento del deposito, usandolo come luogo di incontro. Il Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Board dichiarò l'edificio come monumento storico-culturale di Los Angeles, nel 1963; fu la ventiduesima struttura a ricevere la designazione di monumento storico. Nonostante la designazione, il deposito rimase vuoto e vittimizzato da vandali e graffiti, cadendo in grave disfavore nei primi anni '70. Il corpo dei vigili del fuoco di Los Angeles condannarono la struttura proponendo la sua demolizione, ma i conservazionisti riuscirono a salvarla. Nel 1976, la Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Foundation raccolse fondi per spostare la struttura all'Heritage Square Museum, nel quartiere Montecito Heights. Il deposito si trova all'ingresso dell'Heritage Square ed ospita un negozio di souvenir del museo. (it)
