moved into the northern portion of the terminal building in 1931. The station was re-opened, briefly, at 10:30 a.m. on May 22, 1939, when King George VI and his consort, Queen Elizabeth (mother of Queen Elizabeth II), arrived for their first visit to Toronto. This was the "first visit to Canada by a reigning British monarch." The king was also officially the Canadian monarch, marking the first visit by one to the city. The royal couple departed Toronto through Union Station. Shortly after World War II, returning soldiers passed through the station; they were its last rail passengers. On September 9, 1915, a time capsule was entombed in the cornerstone laid by the then mayor of Toronto, Tommy Church. The capsule was found and opened 100 years later in September 2015.

Also buried were a BlackBerry and an iPhone, a modern map of Toronto and a few bottles of spirits (in homage to the current use of the building as an LCBO outlet).

The architects were Goldsmith Borgal & Company Ltd., and Eastern Construction was contracted to do the work. The clocks had been removed from the tower between 1948 and 1950, allowing pigeons to enter the structure through holes in the clock faces. The first order of business during the restoration of the tower was the removal of approximately of desiccated pigeon droppings that had accumulated
