Today we drive out to Windsor’s west end and down Indian Road, where I had heard rumors that the Bridge Company was busy tearing down buildings in anticipation of the twining of the Ambassador Bridge.
Indian Road, is a nice little street, that has the misfortune of having a bridge in the backyard. Most of the east side of the street, abuting the Bridge proberty is rental homes owned by the Ambassador Bridge.
I heard rumblings of demolitons taking place, so I thought I would check it out first hand. Here we find a vacant lot.
And another…

Down at the end of Indian Road on Mill St. giant piles of rubble sit as a reminder that something is up, and that we should be keeping our eyes on the Bridge Company… They’re up to something.

That last picture -- that's where the University's old Tecumseh hall was located. Do you have any information about when that was torn down, and if the bridge company bought that? I believe it was an old University Residence.
