Grace Hospital – 1929

Today’s photo is dated, May 23, 1929 and the caption on the back reads: “Grace Hospital Windsor”. It was quite the grand mansion at the corner of Crawford and University. The house was donated to the Salvation Army for hospital use.

The old wing of the hospital was damaged in a fire in 1960, and was demolished and replaced with the five story 1960’s wing along Crawford in 1964.

  • Hello,

    I am looking for information regarding a hospital in Windsor who cared for War Veterans. I discovered that my grandad whom was a WW1 and WW2 Veteran spent the last days of his life in a Veterans Hospital in Windsor; due to head injuries he sustained as the victim of a hit & run accident.

    Would anyone know anything about such a facility in Windsor?

    PS I was born in the Salvation Army "Grace Haven" home for unwed mothers located in Hamilton Ontario.

    Any info would be appreciated.
