Vitrolite

Vitrolite

Vitrolite was an opaque pigmented glass available in different colors that was used for tiles in buildings from the 1920s to the 1950s. It was also used to cover the station walls on the TTC's original Yonge subway line, opened in 1954. They have all since been replaced, except at Eglinton station. Vitrolite is no longer made.
