It is located at 2672 Bloor Street West at Old Mill Terrace and Humber Boulevard in the Kingsway residential neighbourhood. Nearby destinations include the Old Mill Inn and Park Lawn Cemetery.

History

The station opened in 1968 in what was then the Borough of Etobicoke.

On December 8, 2000, just after the subway had closed for the night, a fire broke out on a waste collection train and caused considerable damage to the station. The fire was most likely caused by a lit cigarette, disposed of in a garbage can at another station. This incident led the TTC to revise its waste protocol, now leaving all refuse outside stations for collection by truck.

Station access upgrades

In 2024, two elevators will be added at the station from ground level to the two side platforms, along with the addition of other improvements such as tactile attention tiles, improved signage and CCTV cameras along the new accessible pathway. Construction was expected to start in the second quarter of 2025, and is budgeted for completion in 2028. Old Mill will be the last Toronto subway station to be made accessible.

Subway infrastructure

The station is built on the west side of the Humber River valley. The west end of the station lies underground with the tunnel continuing toward Royal York. The east end of the platform is elevated on a viaduct that takes the line across the river to re-enter the tunnel on the other side of the valley toward Jane Station.

Glass walls at the train platform's east end provide a view of the riverside park. Bird of prey shaped cutouts have been applied to these large windows to reduce the number of avian fatalities.

From when the station opened in 1968 until 1973, buses and the subway trains serving the station were in separate fare zones and the station's bus loop was located outside the street entrance. Although the bus platforms have still not been integrated into the station's fare-paid area, since only the one bus route is affected, this has a relatively minor impact on the flow of passengers through the turnstiles.
