As is usual in old Windsor postcards, everything here is gone… A view looking east on Pitt Street towards Ouellette Avenue,with a streetcar rumbling past…
A good view here in front of the old post office, showing the old memorial fountain which was moved to Jackson Park when the old post office was demolished in 1929.

my spelling sucks
lol....my spelling isn't always that great either, gary.
I guess it makes sense when you're on the inside.
I wish I would've been able to see first hand what this city once looked like ... to walk down the streets surrounded by all these beautiful buildings.
If you didn't tell me this was Windsor, I would have bet the farm that it wasn't! I agree with Dave - these old photos just make me sad...
What's with the big post in front of the fountain by the curb? It doesn't look like a lamp post. It almost looks like a mini obelisk.
