Caption: This old image is a personal favourite. The structure was originally the Great Western Railway station, built back in 1853-1855, making it among the oldest in Canada. It was in operation as a station until the late 1800s. It was then moved back from the mainline and a siding was constructed in order it remain in service as a freight terminal. The station that replaced it burned to the ground around 1900. The GWR structure then was returned back to station status until another station was built in 1906. (this was the 'famous' Turret building that was destroyed by fire in 1994) So the historical station became a fruit processing depot. Various owners included Canadian Fruit Co, then Niagara Peninsula Growers 1921-1924 and Niagara Packers Ltd from 1925-1985. Forks Rd Pottery bought the building in 1997 and sold in 2018. Later this year the station will begin still another life as the Different Strokes bar & billiards when it opens toward the end of 2019. Note the coal sheds in the background. And a local parked on the siding next to the mainline. That is the Christie St overpass in the distance.
