Lansdowne Bus Garage
(Images depict the garage as a trolleybus depot, but the building is identical. Workshop link below)
LANSDOWNE CARHOUSE
1911 – 1996
Situated 2 blocks north of Bloor Street West at Paton Road, its east wall running north on Lansdowne Avenue, this massive facility was considered the showpiece of the Toronto Railway Company’s facilities, and the largest. With a property perimeter of roughly 472 ft by 358 ft, it was also the first facility designed to store vehicles outside.
Over its 85-year service to the city, the facility housed streetcars (until ~1968), trolley buses (until 1991), and diesel buses (until closure in 1996). The facility also served as a subway division when the Bloor Danforth subway opened in 1966; Lansdowne along with Eglinton are the only two carhouses that have served all four transit functions.
After closure, the building remained vacant until 2002, when it was demolished; the property is fenced off but remains vacant as of the spring of 2020.

This asset represents the garage in its final form, operating as a diesel division until the end of operations in 1996. Couple this with two additional assets also now on the workshop to make it function in its other forms.
