Parent & Hanna

November 12, 2008
I’ve always liked this building at the south west corner of Hanna & Parent. I like how it has a mix of architectural elements that are not found in other apartments around town. I don’t have any information on it, other than it doesn’t show up in the 1924 directory (in fact there is nothing built on the west side of Parent, between Ottawa and Hanna), but it does show up on…

444 Park Street West

February 9, 2007
One of the more unique Apartment Buildings found in the City of Windsor. This mid 1920’s era building is built in the Spanish Mission Style, with the trademark curved gables and red tile roof.
