For the long suffering commuter in Melbourne there used to be tram shelters.
There are a couple left on St Kilda Road.
They were built in the 1920s. Made of timber in the Edwardian style which showed a change from the more ornate Victorian style.
But with lots of personality.
Frank Stapley was the architect, mayor, and a bit of a straight talking town planner. He believed in the combination of “utility and beautification”.
Lucky for us.
