Opening day for the new GTR Stratford Union Station July 11 1870

            Located on the south-east corner of Downie and Guelph Street this impressive depot would serve Stratford Ontario for 43 years. By the turn of the century it was handling more than 3 dozen trains a day. Passengers could be carted to and from the station in two-horse buggies for a fare of 25c.  

It appears by the buntings hanging above the doorway and all the buggy operators and others are dressed to celebrate this important day for the citys new Union Station.
