This tramway depot was opened in 1927 and dedicated to the tenth anniversary of the Great October Revolution, although the construction was begun a dozen years before and was ceased due to the First World War and the revolution in Russia. The depot is located in the south-eastern part of Moscow in a lazy street, and a large pond is not far from here. The first photo shows a number of high trees; unfortunately, they were damaged by a terrible hurricane in 1998 and later they were cut down.

The inner yard of the depot. Heed the old car in the far corner. Of course, this is not a passenger car - it looks like a snowplough. May 2000. |

The depot building, viewed from the Novokonnaya Square. Mid-March 2000, the first warm spring days... By the way, this nice stone pavement has already been replaced with concrete slabs since that time. |
