Object Detail


Description
Before being elected mayor of Wellington, Thomas Hislop had represented two South Island seats in Parliament.

During Hislop's mayoralty, the expansion of the electrified tram system in the city fuelled a wave of civic pride. To celebrate the tram lines, Hislop and his councillors took a night-time trip around the city.

Hislop's son - Thomas Charles Atkinson Hislop - followed in his father's footsteps by becoming mayor in 1931.
