William McBrien Building, Modern office building on Yonge Street, Toronto, Canada.
The seven-story William McBrien Building features limestone walls from Queenston and serves as the Toronto Transit Commission headquarters at 1900 Yonge Street.
Charles B. Dolphin designed this administrative building, which opened on February 7, 1958, replacing the former TTC offices in the Toronto Board of Trade Building.
The building bears the name of William Carson McBrien, who led the Toronto Transit Commission from 1933 to 1954 and supervised Canada's first subway construction.
The structure connects directly to Davisville subway station and contains 11,000 square meters of office space with ground-level bus bays for transit operations.
The main lobby displays light brown Italian marble details, combining international materials with local limestone in its architectural composition.
