SUMMARY:Online Lecture: Toronto Union Stations
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the final lecture in our 10th anniversary series\, Toronto Union Stations 1927-2020!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Toronto Union Stations\, 1927-2020\n\n\nAfter almost 25 years of planning and construction\, Toronto’s fourth Union Station opened to great fanfare in August 1927 with a visit by the Prince of Wales\, later King Edward VIII. Over the following decades\, the station would witness the Depression\, World War II\, the railway’s transition from steam to diesel motive power\, the decline of intercity and long-distance passenger trains\, the near demolition of the building in the 1960s\, and the repurposing of the station as commuter hub. After Union Station was acquired by the City of Toronto in the 21st century\, a renovation and restoration process began that would take almost as long as its initial construction a century earlier. An extensive array of photographs\, maps\, diagrams and animations will illustrate the history of this National Historic Site. \nThe lecture will be presented digitally through the WebEx platform in one evening and divided into two sections with a short break in the middle.
