George Eastman personally visited Toronto to view potential sites, eventually selecting the Mount Dennis area, which at that time was farmland.
A series of seven buildings were initially constructed, including two that were connected by an enclosed bridge.
The move from the King Street facilities began in 1916, completed the next year.
[1][2][7] The building was abandoned until 2013 when the land was acquired by Metrolinx to construct the Eglinton Crosstown line.
It will be the location of the Mount Dennis LRT station main entrance with a bus terminal, and the Eglinton Maintenance and Storage Facility nearby.
