At the Top of the Hanley Spur

There's a rather non-descript shed just off Montreal Street, south of what was Elliott Avenue. Used as a maintenance/storage building for the nearby Village on the River apartments, it has an interesting past. It used to be served by a trailing-point CN spur heading down the Hanley Spur, witness two CN boxcars spotted there in June, 1957, with a sign reading Chown Limited Warehouse No 3:

The lettering says Chown Limited - a downtown hardware store. This Don McQueen photo shows another building in the same area - east of Cassidy Street - once also served by a CN spur trailing-point CN spur heading up the Hanley Spur. It's 1959, and it's the A.McLean & Son Wholesale Grocers operation:

The building is referred to by other owners i.e. Canfor, I. Cohen on CN car control schematic diagram listings.This Googlemaps view shows the building (yellow star), the Hanley Spur's former alignment (yellow line, from which the Chown spur diverged) and pre-realignment Kingston Sub mainline (red line):

August 2021 UPDATE: I returned to the site on foot to get a few detail photos of the north side and doors. I later realized that the S-shaped entrance road to Village on the River is where the former Hanley Spur approached the mainline, having passed behind the line of houses on Montreal Street.
