Chrysler Powerhouse – 1935

I’ve always been a fan of the Chrysler Powerhouse at the end of Ypres.

The picture above is from December 1935, shortly after construction. As with the factory too, it was designed by Hutton & Souter of Hamilton. They also designed the former offices on Chrysler Centre, as well as the GM factory and offices (last picture here) on Walker, along with the Norton Palmer Hotel.
