MRC station after GTR ca. 1903 addition of "pavilion" looking west towards Orillia along former MRC track—connection to former NRC track passes behind station to right. Freight shed appears on left. The CPR's GB&SR bridge across the Narrows may appear in the background, which dates the photograph to after ca. 1910 but before ca. 1920 when the GTR added the Agent's Office to the north façade. The station's paint scheme is a "faux wainscot" that GTR appears to have adopted in an attempt to create a uniform "corporate image " among its stations. |
