Black & White Sepia Toned and Hand Colored . 2 Colours
C.N. Station (9 Water Street)
Constructed: 1906 Architect: Ralph Pratt
An example of the Chateauesque style,
popular from the 1880s to the 1930s.
This building is constructed of brick on a
symmetrical plan, with Tyndall limestone
used in the foundation and decorative
elements. The extremely high pitched
roofs, multiple dormer windows, and
crenellated turrets, are all common features
of what has been termed the “Railroad Gothic” style of architecture.
The station was constructed for the Canadian Northern Railway, which
became the Canadian National after World War I. It served actively as a
train stop until it was purchased by the City in 1977.
The station was recognized in 1979 for its heritage value (City of Thunder Bay by-law 1979-258) and received Heritage Designation under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act.
