Toronto Union Station is one of the city's architectural treasures, a landmark that seems to have been around since the beginning of the railway era. In fact it is the city's third ‘union' railway station. The first opened on June 21, 1858, then was replaced by a second station in 1873. The present, much beloved Union Station opened in 1927. This presentation will provide an illustrated history of these buildings and other downtown railway stations in celebration of the sesquicentennial of Toronto Union Station.
This program is presented in partnership with the Toronto Public Library.
