On the south side of the Niagara Escarpment in central Southern Ontario in farming country is a small town called Monkton. This is an old "feed" depot, which has seen better days, that somewhat resembles an old train station.

Condos.....
It was an old train station
In November of 1906, a rail line was constructed to provide goods and passenger service from Milverton to Guelph and onto Toronto. As a result of this, the Monkton South railway station was built and very little of it's outward appearence has changed since 1907.
Tracks were pulled years ago
He is correct! It IS a train station, but it is not in its original location. It has been moved a few hundred yards down the road from where the trains were.
* Oops! Tracks, not trains.
