Summary
| Description |
English: The station, constructed in the Beaux Arts tradition, consists of a 43-metre (140-foot) clock tower and a three-storey main terminal. The tower is modelled after the Campanile di San Marco in Saint Mark's Square in Venice. The main terminal gallery has an 11.6-metre (38-foot) high ceiling supported by marble walls and with elegant bronze suspended light fixtures.
The foot print of the station is 75 feet 9 inches by 114 feet 2 inches and that of the clock tower is 24 feet 9 inches according to plans published in the August 1915 edition of Canadian Railway and Marine World. The North Toronto Station was the first building in the city to be constructed of Tyndall limestone from Manitoba supplied by The Wallace Sandstone Quarries. The material is noted for its weather resistance, embedded fossils, and dappled beige hues. The four clock faces, each 2.4 metres (8 feet) in diameter, were always illuminated at night during the station's service life. The station was designed by Darling and Pearson and built in 1916 by P. Lyall & Sons Construction Company to service the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) line running across Toronto. Source: Wikipedia |
