Image held by North Melbourne Library. Courtesy of Melbourne Tram Museum Inc. Corner of Abbotsford and Molesworth Streets taken when the cable tram track was being converted to electric trams about August 1935. None of the buildings on the left are extant as they were demolished for public housing in the 1950s, but almost all other buildings on the right are still extant. The building with the Robur tea sign is currently number 397 Abbotsford Street. Boys are seen on the tracks with works vehicles in the distance.
