Watts Station is a train station built in 1904 in Watts, Los Angeles, California. It was one of the first buildings in Watts, and for many years, it was a major stop for the Pacific Electric Railway's "Red Car" service between Los Angeles and Long Beach. It was the only structure that remained intact when stores along 103rd Street in Watts were burned in the 1965 Watts Riots. Remaining untouched in the middle of the stretch of street that came to be known as "Charcoal Alley", the station became a symbol of continuity, hope, and renewal for the Watts community. It has since been declared a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

  • Watts Station ist eine 1904 erbaute Eisenbahnstation in Watts, einem Stadtviertel von Los Angeles in Kalifornien. Das Bauwerk war eines der ersten Gebäude in Watts und diente lange Jahre als Haupthaltepunkt für den Red Car der zwischen Los Angeles und Long Beach. Es war das einzige Bauwerk, das intakt blieb, als beim Watts-Aufruhr die Geschäfte an der 103rd Street niedergebrannt wurden. Das nicht angetastete Bauwerk im mittleren Teil der dann auch Charcoal Alley getauften Straße wurde die Bahnstation zu einem Symbol der Kontinuität, der Hoffnung und der Erneuerung für das Stadtviertel. Es wurde inzwischen zu einem Historic-Cultural Monument erklärt und am 15. März 1974 als Baudenkmal in das National Register of Historic Places aufgenommen. (de)
