Historic Use:
Originally constructed and used as the temporary depot at Currie before being moved to McGill to serve as the temporary depot in that location. Moved to the East Ely Yard and adapted for use as the Chief Engineer's building. At this point a records vault was built on the side of the building (only the vault door remains). The engineering department was moved to another building in 1950 and the building was essentially gutted. A large garage door was added to the back and the building became a garage for tools and speeders.
