History edit

The station was built in 1885 by the Grand Trunk Railway after its acquisition of the Great Western Railway, which was purchased in 1882 and ultimately merged into the Canadian National Railway in 1920. The building is Gothic Revival with Italianate elements by architect Joseph Hobson and renovated in 1986 with Edwardian themed interior/exterior.[1] The station building was designated a Heritage Railway Station in 1993.[2]
