CharlesDavenport born at Newton, Massachusetts , 25 May 1812 died at Watertown, Massachusetts , 14 February 1903 was a manufacturer of passenger cars for railroads, and made some of the first used in the United States. Biography He learned to build coaches and carriages, and went into business for himself in 1832 at Cambridge, Massachusetts . In 1834, as the firm of Davenport & Bridges, he entered upon the business of building railroad cars. For some years, the firm also built locomotives. As a car builder, his was not only the pioneer firm of the United States, but for the 22 years during which he carried on the business his was the largest car establishment in the country, having factories at Cambridgeport, and from 1840 1850 also at Piermont, New York Piermont and Newburg, New York . He built his first cars for the Boston and Worcester Railroad , early in 1835. They were after the pattern of a long omnibus upon four wheels, seating 24, to be entered by a central door upon either side, and from a step running the length of the car, as on late 19th century street car s. Within the car, the fixed seats faced all one way, and were separated on either side by a central aisle the length of the car. The car was turned about on a Railway turntable turntable at the end of each trip. The next series of cars were built with seats that had reversible backs, thus obviating the need of turning around the car itself. In 1837 he built the entrance door and platform steps at the ends of the car, instead of the side, thus opening a passageway through a train from car to car. In 1838 1839 ..., he originated the earliest plan for the Boston Back Bay park, and the Charles River embankment improvement in Cambridge.
