The Ambassador Hotel - 1928
December 9, 2015
A view of the Ambassador Hotel. I believe this one was situated at the south west corner of Riverside and Goyeau.
Hot and Cold running water, all for $1.50 and up. A buck and a half then is equivalent to just over $20 today. Hotel room prices have certainly risen…

Have a safe and happy Halloween everyone! Drive safely if you’re out and…
Hotel Dieu - c. 1925
October 28, 2015
A neat old view of the south east corner of Erie and Ouellette, the block immediately south of Monday’s shot. While the Masonic Temple is still standing and in use, this one is long gone… A neat old building, and hard to imagine when it was built, it was out on…
