The Hawthorn Tram Depot was built in 1916 for the Hawthorn Tramways Trust (HTT). It was built on the corner of Power Street and Wallen Road, Hawthorn, a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria. The depot was close to the junction of the HTT's two main lines. It was taken over by the Melbourne and Metropolitan Tramways Board (M&MTB) in 1920. In 1925 the depot was used as a school to teach tram drivers and tram conductors. In 1940, the building was also used to make uniforms for M&MTB staff.
