[Avodah] Davening at the Kosel (was Need for a Mehitza)

[Prof. Levine via Avodah]

Truth be told there was no mechitza at the Kosel until after 1967 as 
far as I know.  However,  there apparently were no minyanim there 
then, at least this is what I was told.  People davened privately.

Can anyone verify this?
