Today’s vintage photo takes us back to September 1941 and to the corner of Ouellette and Park, where a photographer from the Detroit Times, captured this image of military drills in downtown Windsor. Keep in mind that at this point the US was still a few months away from the attack on Pearl Harbor and was not involved in WWII.
The photo ran in the September 30, 1941 edition of the Detroit Times. A copy of the newspaper clipping is attached to the back of the photo. The Prince Edward Hotel is visible in the background. Although long demolished, there is still a part of the building around locally…
This building on Laurier Drive in Lasalle, was built with the arched windows that were salvaged from the Prince Edward during demolition.
– On an unrelated note, a big shout out to the WUC workers who are busy replacing the water mains in my neighbourhood. I understand that a few of them are regular readers.
Have a safe weekend everyone, we’ll see you back here Monday.

wow! that's awesome about the windows! i had no clue that kind of preservation happened in this city!
thanks Andrew!
looks like the front door to the PE as well
Nice photos ! WUC workers are the laziest bunch I've ever encountered. I worked at ENWIN/WUC during the summer of 2002 and had the most horrible supervisor (Jody). He was also porking one summer student Alayna. What goes around comes around!
I've been inside that building in LaSalle, too. Oscar is right. I need to go back.
