Vasileostrovsky tram depot, Art Nouveau tram depot in Vasileostrovsky District, Russia
The Vasileostrovsky tram depot features three brick buildings with eight passages and residential structures that establish the street frontage of the transportation complex.
Constructed between 1906 and 1908 by Westinghouse Electric, this depot marks the beginning of organized public transportation in Saint Petersburg.
The Museum of Electrical Transport within the depot exhibits the development of regional tram transportation through historical vehicles and technical artifacts.
The depot maintains its original function with multiple semi-sheds divided by cross walls, enabling the operation and maintenance of the local tram network.
The buildings incorporate different ceiling construction methods, from ferroconcrete structures in the first sections to pig-iron beams in later segments.
