Dépôt de tram et quai de chargement — De Panne

Tram depot designed by an unknown Brussels architect after the electrification of the lines to Veurne and Adinkerke; the plans, approved on 7 November 1935, were carried out in 1936. The imposing volume in orange-red brick, combined with concrete and cement rendering, has façades with a strong horizontal and vertical articulation. The front façade, with a characteristic Art Deco design, is pierced by a basket-handle arched doorway in a rendered surround, while the long side façades are articulated by concrete pilasters of geometric design. The steel roof structure and the inspection pit survive; the depot now houses the museum trams of the TTO-Noordzee association.
