Windsor Hydro Company c. 1928

A couple of weeks back we took look at the long gone Windsor Gas Company building on Chatham Street West. In the comments we got discussing how the former Chatham Street Grill/C.H. Streets building was noted as being the Hydro offices. Above is a photo of that building from about 1928.

Hopefully someone moves into the building and it doesn’t sit empty too long. The longer buildings sit empty, the more likely they are to come down.

  • Interesting. Never really noticed this building too much but it still retains some of its original features. Solid building, I think it will find a tenant eventually...hopefully. But then again we can tear it down and make way for another urine soaked parkette or if we play our cards right a Bjork Icelandic memorial peace clock.

  • I wish they would do something with that hole at Park and Ouellette apparently some one purchased that spot but no word on what will end up there probably a urine soaked parkette like you mentioned Alan

  • What do you guys mean by a hole in the ground at Ouellette and Park? I am downtown frequently and haven't seen one O.o
