The Tempe Depot, on the corner of Princes Highway and Gannon Street, Tempe, opened in mid 1911 as an eighteen road storage depot and was the last running depot built in Sydney.
The front elevation of the depot carries the wall beyond the ridges of the saw tooth roofs and the parapet line is broken by a centered gable and engaged piers.[1] As a tram storage depot its design had:
- 18 tracks
- Decorative front parapet with centered pediment
- Brick panelled side walls
- Roof orientation to south
Closed in 1954 to became a bus depot and used as a storage facility for withdrawn government buses until it closed as an operational depot in the mid 1990s. The Tramshed and outlying offices were leased by the Sydney Bus Museum before the museum moved to Leichhardt.
The depot was redeveloped as an expanded bus depot and Metrobus maintenance centre reopening in 2010
