Two and a half years later, they came down over this past weekend.
Sadly this large Victorian Commercial building also bit the dust.
Also victim of a suspicious fire this one was empty for the last few years.
It too bit the dust.
It’s too bad, in this Streetview screen capture, the corner of University & Glengarry, each had old Victorian era commercial buildings on each side, and it gave a glimpse into Windsor’s past. Now empty lots are all around.

RIGHT ON CHUCK!
The city's plan for this area is a Waterfront Urban Village http://www.citywindsor.ca/001985.asp
Well I remember the whole area very well as I was born and raised on Alymer. And honestly it is a shame to see all them home's now gone that were once there and did house families. Now what is all up Alymer nothing but empty lot's and here now the City want's to build their new swimming crap well you have all these lot's open right by casino which to me is a waste of time.
But you have all these lots available so why not use them instead of destroying library and such.
People , people dont worry uncie Duncie (Dwight Duncan) has it all under control - trust me. We need more Parking lots @ $3-5 per hour to support our Canada Day ( sometime late June ) festivities Admission $10 per PLUS food , entertainment, police protection , etc HST extra.
