This is a shot of one of the streetcar maintenance barns at the Wychwood Barns which have been renovated and now are used as a community and cultural centre. The barns were built in 1913 and have heritage protection. This hall, barn 2, is used for many events throughout the year and houses the Saturday farmers market all winter. Some of the other barns house a theatre, a community greenhouse, artist studios and also some artist homes. It is an active place.
Great use of the old building.
ReplyDeleteThese are all fine uses of this historic building, but I do miss the old streetcars. They were a great way to get around a city. Their disappearance may have been a conspiracy of auto, tires, and gas companies.
ReplyDeleteWhat an excellent reuse of this building.
ReplyDeleteA good conversion.
ReplyDeleteAlways good to see old buildings being renovated and found a good use.
ReplyDeleteGlad that it has been repurposed.
ReplyDelete...many communities have cavernous buildings that are finding new life. This looks like wonderful use.
