An important part of Glasgow's transport history, the Tramway Depot was built in stages from 1894 to around 1912 as a Tramway Works and Depot. It forms a significant part of the streetscape and it is a rare survival. It originally had stables on the first floor. It was converted to the Museum of Transport in 1964, but this was relocated in the 1980s to the Kelvin Hall, and plans to create a performing and visual arts space were put forward in 1989 to celebrate Glasgow's City of Culture status in 1990. The building was redeveloped by Zoo Architects from 1998-2000 with a café bar and residency, rehearsal and workshop spaces added. It operates as a venue for contemporary visual and performing art.
