Archer Street, north side. According to a researcher, this is not Archer Street, but the horse tram depot on the east side of Unley Road, just north of Eton Street. The tram poles had been erected for electric trams, so the view was taken just before they commenced operation on this route on 1st November 1909. Until taken over by the MTT in 1907, this tram line was operated by the Adelaide, Unley & Mitcham Tramway Co. The main depot building still exists (or did so in March 2009). The front half of the building, facing Unley Road, is now disguised behind cladding, but the back section remains almost 'as built'. See also B 21190 for a similar view of the depot taken approximately 1915.
