William McBrien Building

The William McBrien Building, the administrative headquarters of the Toronto Transit Commission, is an architectural landmark located at 1900 Yonge Street, above the Davisville subway station. Opened in 1958 and designed by Charles B. Dolphin, this seven-storey structure features a striking exterior of Queenston limestone and an elegant lobby adorned with Italian marble. Named after former TTC Chairman William C. McBrien, the building has served as a central hub for transit operations and customer service. With plans for relocation by 2025, the building's heritage aspects are set to be preserved, making it a point of interest for both tourists and researchers exploring Toronto's transit history.
