Statement of Significance

The MMTB substation at 2 Daly Street is of regional significance as a fine and representative example of the work of A G Monsborough, possibly the first completed after his appointment as architect to the M&MTB in 1926. It is also of social and historical significance for its associations wiht the electric trams in Chapel Street, so crucial to the development of this commercial strip in the early twentieth century, and with the other remnant tram-associated building along Chapel Street.
