Description

Colour photograph of the Station Gallery in Whitby. In the background, behind the building, the London and Port Stanley Railway boxcar is visible. The boxcar was used as a print-making studio. The Whitby Jail is also visible to the left of the building.

Notes

The Whitby Junction Station was built at the foot of Byron Street on the Grand Trunk Railway in 1903 near the current GO Transit platform. The station closed in 1969 and in 1970 it was moved to the north-east corner of Victoria and Henry Streets for use as an art gallery. In 2004 the Station Gallery was moved across the road to Whitby Iroquois Park.

Russell M. Preston was a Whitby resident for 44 years and enjoyed taking photographs of buildings around Whitby.
