Ambassador Bridge - November 1929
December 11, 2013
A photo of the bridge taken in 1929 before it opened. This shot is looking east towards downtown. Windsor is on the right hand side.

December 9, 2013
Once again Dillon Hall surfaces, this time on an old postcard from about 1960. A handsome building, this Albert Lothian designed school building has been featured on promotional materials and postcards since it was built. It really is one of Windsor’s iconic…
