The station was torn down in 1935 and replaced by the present Canadian National Railways station. About 1890.
What was the year that the station was torn down??
Thanks for pointing out the gap in our record. We have made the change, the answer is 1935.Before the Grand Trunk took over the Great Western, both railways would have had stations in London. Are you sure that this isn't the original Grand Trunk station on the line that came into London from St. Marys in 1858 and therefore, may very well have been on Richmond?
Good question. Nancy Z. Tausky's "London: from site to City", p.126 has a sketch and photo of the 1893 CPR station at 664 Richmond Street. It does not match our photo. That does not mean our photo is not the original Grand Trunk station, as you suggest, but no source we can find puts the Grand Trunk station on Richmond Street.
