An old rendering of the Sandwich Foundry company that was once located at the south east corner of Chippewa and Bloomfield. That area today has been replaced by social housing. Anyone out there remember this place at all or when it came down?

from the Ottawa Journal in 1940 mentions " AUCTION SALE I FOUNDRY EQUIPMENT of the Bankrupt SANDWICH FOUNDRY Company Limited Chippewa and Bloomfield Ave, WINDSOR, ONT. Will Be Ofered U the PabUe by Auction . APRIL 15. 1940 "
Hard to believe THAT was THERE!
It was destroyed by Hurricane Hazel. I lived at 966 Brock Street and me and my friends would go through the ruins in the early 60s.
Bankrupt with a war going on?
There was a rail spur that crossed bloomfield.There was a coal company on the opposite corner which used the spur line until the 70s i think, to bring in coal.There is a highrise on the corner where the Sandwich coal company an the factory earlier.
