The Pasadena apartments on Wyandotte street east. I've long liked this building, although I'm sure it's seen better days. A handsome structure, with nice decorative elements. #windsor #architecture #buildingsofwindsor

Sad to hear about the fire and likely destruction of this #midcenturymodern garage on Howard over the weekend. Designed by Windsor architects Johnson-McWhinnie it opened in 1967 and was the flagship garage of the Beaver Oil regional chain. #windsor #architecture #buildingsofwindsor #beaveroil #garage #fire

This house has long been a favorite. Located on Kildare Rd in south Walkerville, this one has a unique clinker brick facade. Built in 1928, it's in amazing, original shape. #windsor #architecture #buildingsofwindsor #1928 #clinkerbrick

A rendering from 1904 of the Immaculate Conception Church built at the corner of Wyandotte and Marentette. It was designed by local architects the Williams Brothers. It was designed to have a large steeple added to it, which was never realized. It is today, the Holy Family Chaldean church, having been purchased after the local diocese closed Immaculate Conception. #windsor #architecture #buildingsofwindsor #rendering

Another J. C. Pennington rendering from 1914. This one is the Wyandotte Street School. The school was built and eventually added on to with a massive expansion in the 1923 designed by Albert McPhail. The school was closed in 2015, and its future remains uncertain. #windsor #architecture #buildingsofwindsor

Hidden behind a large tree is this interesting late 1960s design at 2561 Lincoln Rd. In a neighbourhood filled with home from the 1920's and 1950's this one stands out. #buildingsofwindsor #architecture #windsor
