Another email I got last week was from reader Pete, who was wondering if I had anything on the old Steinberg’s downtown.
This photo above comes from the book “Windsor 1892-1992 – A centennial celebration” , by Trevor Price and Larry Kulisek. The caption to the photo from the book noted that the building at the time had stood vacant for over 20 years.
The three architectural drawings for the Steinberg Miracle Mart were on display at my show at the Art Gallery of Windsor last fall. They were dug up by curator James Patten, from the City of Windsor Planning Department archives at City Hall with the help of Jim Yanchula.
Maybe there are some readers out there with some memories of the place?

I moved to Windsor in 1965 as stockroom manager to set up the new store. I was transfered from Hamilton We opened in 1966 and were the newest thing in town. We opened with a staff of 60 cashiers making 60 cents an hour,120 clerks and 40 people in back room service. Boy, has retail ever changed! Would be nice to contact some of the old staff. I transfered to Ottawa in 1969 to open Bayshore Shopping center so was not around for the break-up as I had mopved on to NB by then
