September 1958, all the H-class cars were gone. Scrap value of the H-class cars was about $250 as compared to $2500 for PE's beautiful PCCs that had been sold at about the same time.

H-class cars 1423, 1435, and 1450 were saved and moved to OERM.

The 1444 headed for a different "situation." It wound up on a miniature golf course at 190th and Figueroa Streets.

The new owners stripped the interior of the 1444 of all seats and sadly, the two bulkheads, all done to make room for a bank of several pinball machines.

The removal of the bulkheads severly compromised the structural integrity of the 1444 and her condition began a slow but steady decline.

The golf course closed after about six years of operation.

The 1444 had deteriorated to a point of no return.

OERM members removed anything of value from the now-hopeless 1444 and what was left of her was "hauled off to the dump" by its owners. The 1444 would join its sisters in trolley heaven.
