This picture shows the south west corner of Mill & Baby streets in Sandwich in May 1957. This little building was owned by the Sandwich, Windsor & Amherstburg Railway (SW&A), the forerunner of today’s Transit Windsor. It started out as a ticket office and waiting room for the streetcars, and by this point in time had become a drivers exchange room, where buses would pull up and the drivers would swap. The building was eventually demolished and remains today a vacant lot.
Anyone out there remember this place?

I don't recall this building but I must say it would have been perfect for a modern day tiny home.
I remember this building. The bus would stop and the driver would get off, taking the coin dispenser with him. I thought he went in this building to load up the coin dispenser but maybe he took it with him so no one would steal money. I always wondered what the bus drivers were doing in there. Having lunch? A rest break? I think the bus I took was called the Sanitorium. I could catch it on Prince Road or Felix Street or Girardot Street. I was told the bus was called the Sanitorium because the hospital on Prince Road treated people with tuberculois but I don't know when.
