Joy Gas Stations, Historic gas station in Toronto, Canada
The white Joy Gas Station features a circular tower with a conical roof, displaying miniature chateau architecture from the 1930s commercial period.
The Joy Oil Company built 16 stations across Toronto during the 1930s, with only one remaining structure at Lake Shore Boulevard West and Windermere Avenue.
The station represents the Canadian Chateau architectural style, which emerged as a national design movement during the early twentieth century in Ontario.
The City of Toronto relocated the station to Sir Casimir Gzowski Park in 2007 and invested 400,000 dollars in its restoration program.
This last surviving Joy Gas Station received protection under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act and awaits transformation into an information center.
