Donkey Wheel House entrance on Bourke Street.

Donkey Wheel House

  • Landmark
  • Attractions

Built for the Melbourne Tramway and Omnibus Company in 1891, Donkey Wheel House is a superb example of Venetian Gothic architecture. The building’s flamboyant style is a reminder of the importance of Melbourne's early tramways system.

Today the building houses a community of socially aligned organisations that are seeking to address some of society’s biggest challenges in innovative, entrepreneurial, financially sustainable and collaborative ways.
