This is the former railway station in Grimsby, Ontario:

In 1979 it was converted to a restaurant/roadhouse, but continued to serve as a station for both VIA and Amtrak trains:

In 1994, it was totally destroyed by fire, and was replaced by a modern steel and glass shelter-type station, which is still in use.
Sitting off behind it, and away from the tracks, is the original Great Western station, which has served over the years in various capacities. It's currently a pottery, and the owners are slowly restoring it.

This large structure was built in 1855, and moved to its present location in 1900.
