Sagene Depot (Norwegian: Sagene vognhall) is a disused, but not abandoned tram depot in Stockfleths gate at Sagene in Oslo, Norway. Two hall units, several apartments and offices, a forge and a workshop constitute the depot. The two hall units are preserved, and are now used as a cultural meeting place.
History
[edit]In 1902, three years after the Sagene Line had opened, Kristiania Kommunale Sporveie built one hall unit for the tramway.[1] An additional hall unit was later constructed.
Facilities
[edit]There were two depots that were put up adjacent at Sagene. They were built at municipally owned ground and had places for 36 cars.[1]
Next to the depot, a building with apartment and office was put up, constructed in brick. The depot chief lived in an apartment in the first stock.[2]
