Around the corner at Donaldson and Beach Streets was one of the eleven depots of Melbourne’s world renowned cable tram system. Containing Melbourne’s only remnant cable track, it was demolished in 1999 and replaced, like other bayfront heritage buildings by residential development. Port Melbourne’s cable tram from the city operated from 1890 until 1937, running up Bay Street and along Beach Street to the station, on what is now the median plantation.
