Dillon Hall on the University of Windsor campus, built in 1927 and designed by Albert Lothian, was recently awarded a 2012 Built Heritage award.
The U of W has invested time and money to fix up Dillon Hall. Removing all the ivy, and restoring two of the roof cupolas that were long removed.
A beautiful building, and the stone entrance is as impressive as any in the city.
The cornerstone, with the date of 1927. A nice job restoring and keeping up a great historic building. Props for once, to the University of Windsor.
Have a safe weekend everyone, see you back here Monday.
Congrats to the UofW for doing something like this. Also I belive they deserve some kudos for finally wanting to build a parking deck instead of tearing down more homes in the area.
Looks fantastic. It will interesting to see what happens with the church.
There are bits and pieces of the removed stonework in the Maintenance Services Building yard (On the ramp that goes from Huron Line past the duty free to Wyandotte) Very interesting to look at…almost seems archeological.
The stones outside of the matiniance building are from the demolished prince of whales school that the engineering building now sits ontop of.
Trav, it is spelled “Prince of WALES”…sheesh
I’d rather be the Prince of Whales than the Prince of Wales…
the parking garage is a great idea — the university might actually get some green space
interesting fact….in the 2nd pic, right under the cement sidewalk in front of the front doors is a giant boiler room with a boiler that you can only get to through a tunnel. we recently did work down there in the university tunnels. when it snows that whole sidewalk melts right away because of the heat from the tunnels
