The first buildings here were single-storey, with two pitched roofs. One was where the tram pulled in, and the other looks to be for the ticket office and waiting room.

Timeline:

1888: I've assumed it was built in time for the opening of the tram, but it may have followed on shortly afterwards.
19??: At some point a large clock was added to the north face of the building. We have a photo firmly dated to 1923 that doesn't show the clock, so it should have been added after then.

1934: A guess at the demolition date, based on the replacement building opening in 1936.
