New Railway Building

On the MTO plans, it notes a “potential security vehicle structure”, I can only assume that this is what is being built at Howard & Memorial at the new grade separation.

Whoever designed this need a pat on the back. It’s been a while since anything was built in Windsor that wasn’t a boring lame ass glass clad box. A nice mix of materials, stone and brick, stone lintels and window sills… I’m sure it also houses the pump as well.

It’s a far cry from what was built at Walker Road… Whoever designed this a big pat on the back.

There may be hope yet…

  • I thought this might be some sort of railway building.
    I wonder what the new train station will look like in Walkerville?
    If it looked like this, we could stop being embarrassed about our architecture when people visit.
