!THIS ASSET REQUIRES THE SUNSET HARBOR DLC!

PLEASE NOTE, if you have plopped this asset prior to May 17, 2020, you will need to demolish and re-plop the asset due to an update which disrupts the network connection to the street; it was poorly placed, making it difficult to place.

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. The Toronto Transportation Commission (now the Toronto Transit Commission, or TTC for short) inherited the property when they assumed operation of all streetcar operations in the city in 1921.

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.
