Kingsville Railway Station

169 Lansdowne Ave, Kingsville Ontario N9Y 1L7

Description

The Kingsville Railway Station was built in 1889 in the Richardsonian Romanesque-style.  Hiram Walker built a railway extending into Essex County to facilitate the movement of raw materials and by-products.  He commissioned Detroit architects Mason and Rice to design the train station.  The design utilized the most up-to-date trends of the time, such as the influence of the rounded shingle-style roofing.  Stones from local farm lands were donated to contribute to the construction of the station.  When the station opened in 1889 it became Kingsville’s stop on Walker’s Lake Erie, Essex & Detroit River Railway.  The station was saved twice from demolition, in 1989 and 1993, and was designated in 1994.

Key heritage attributes include:
Elvire will update some attributes because nothing is in the by-law heavy rusticated stonework
A cylindrical tower embedded in the walling, with conical cap
Rounded doors and windows
Semicircular, sheltered porch facing west and a port-cochère to the rear
