Hawthorn East / Camberwell

Camberwell Heritage Study 2008, architect for the Hawthorn, Kew and Malvern Tram Depots, Leonard Flannagan, is still listed in the Sands & McDougal Directory for 1932, but the design, at this fairly late stage, was probably by the MMTB design office, as was the c1924 rotary converter substation at 30 Station Street nearby. The new tram shed does not share Flannagan’s detailing or style usage. The tram shed forms the northern part of Camberwell Tram Depot,
