Year Completed:

1916

OTHER IDENTIFICATION

Alternate Name:

Mimico Station

Notes:

The Mimico Station was built around 1916. Originally owned by the Grand Trunk Railway, it was later taken over by the Canadian National Railway. It stopped being used as a station in the late 1960's, and was abandoned in 1989 before being sold by CN in 2001. The new owner of the station applied for a demolition permit, and the Mimico Station Community Organization was formed to fight the demolition. They were successful, and in November 2007 the station was relocated to Coronation Park (its address changed from 15 Judson Street to 10 Judson Street). The MCSO hoped to restore the station and open it as a community hub and railway museum, but multiple setbacks and frustrations at City Hall caused the project to stall and the organization dissolved.
