The second floor of the station is very small. Holding a small hallway, two bathrooms, and the “terminal office”.
Great old banister and terrazzo floor.
Inside the Men’s room. Various shades of old green tiles line the walls.
The stalls are heavily covered in graffiti. Some of it dating to the late 70’s early 80’s. Were these washrooms once open to the public? Don’t forget to ask for Ted.
Different decor, but more of the same in the ladies room.
A lost art, gold lettering on doors…
Not too much to see here, a wooden enclosed cubicle. Anyone know what this was used for?
An old Art Deco styled wash basin.

You made a good point Shawn but I'd like to point out that nobody to my knowledge has won the mayor's office in my lifetime without the endorsement of The Windsor District Labour Council. And guess what? Over the last 25 years, we've had nothing but one mediocre mayor after another. And let's not forget City Council. They've made one blunder after another, from the MFP leasing disaster to the Canderal building and how did we reward them? By re-electing the same idiots again and again. I'll bet you dollars to donuts that most of our current City Council would rather raise property taxes than contract out city services. That's because our City government is more worried about offending Gary Parent and Kenny Lewenza that doing what's best for the people of Windsor. We've got the highest unemployment rate in the country, our economy is in worse shape than Newfoundland's yet we keep electing the same idiots to higher office. What gives?
In the 2003 municipal election when Francis won the mayor's position for the first time, it was Bill Marra who had the support of the CAW, not Eddie Francis. In any case, union membership voting habits have changed alot over the years and they are starting to vote according to their conscience, not what Gary Parent or Kenny Lewenza tells them to do.
John> I'm certain the fact's can't stop the rhetoric.
University bought this and is converting it, discuss.
