The Wychwood TTC Barns are an excellent example of early 20th century industrial architecture. The 53,000 square foot complex is located on a 4.3-acre site and consists of five attached, brick buildings that range from 198 to 326 feet long and 38 to 44 feet wide. Built between 1913 and 1921, the barns were the hub of the Toronto Civic Railway. From 1921 to 1978, it was one of seven streetcar houses operated by the TTC. At their peak, the barns serviced ten routes and 167 streetcars. During the 1980s, the Wychwood Barns served as a testing and development facility for new streetcars and for the retrofitted Scarborough RT trains. Since completion of the retrofit in the mid 1980s the barns have been left vacant.
