Grace Hospital - c 1925
November 6, 2015
A view along Crawford Avenue, just south of University Avenue. The original Grace Hospital. It was damaged by a fire that lead to it’s modern replacement, and also led to the demise of the original Hotel Dieu as well.
Have a great weekend everyone. See you back here…
Looking South From Ouellette and Park - c 1925
November 2, 2015
Looking south along Ouellette from the roof of the Prince Edward Hotel at Ouellette & Park. A neat shot showing the old St. Mary’s on the left. It’s neat to see how residential downtown Windsor was less than a century ago. Within a year or two most of these…
Sandwich and Ouellette - c 1928
October 30, 2015
A view looking east along Sandwich Street (today’s Riverside drive) just west of Ouellette Ave. It’s hard to believe that we still live in the same city today. So much has changed.

Have a safe and happy Halloween everyone! Drive safely if you’re out and…
Hotel Dieu - c. 1925

Ouellette & Chatham - 1913

One of my favourite parts of this card, is the east…
1466 Ouellette
September 30, 2015
So a few months ago one of those little weird medical offices was demolished further up Ouellette. I noticed that this one at 1466 Ouellette, near Sheppard (which was pretty much a twin of the other one) came down earlier this week as well. From what I can remember…
