I took this photo last Thursday, and for some reason forgot to post it earlier this week… The news I heard earlier that the entire structure is now down, reminded me about this picture. This was the last stand. A lot of history gone…

What a loss, and megahospital will not happen anytime soon. First we need to see that the bigbox development at Ojibway goes smoothly, then maybe we can focus on what's really important. Goodbye hospital and goodbye wildlife, hello empty commercial real estate.
more parking! yeah!

My mom was a nurse there starting in 1954.
Politicians have no training in what they do yet we hand them descisions that affect our lives and communities....
SHANIA TWAIN WAS BORN IN THAT HOSPITAL!!!!
So sad to see this hospital go .The nurses that worked there were caring very caring . My 3 boys were born there and I got very good care . My first son was born a few days before Elvis had died all of us women and the nurses were crying , the husbands felt out of place .I had my sons in other hospital and they got hurt while they were in them and when asked how it happened they didn't know . It just seem nurses at grace took their job serious and was right on everything . It's ashamed they had to close Grace .
i'm beting that the Grace site sits vacant for 20 years either a parking lot or a weed infested praire... we need to change the city signs from the city of roses to the city of unlimited parking
I agree Gary.
Such a shame; Grace Hospital was the nicest hospital we had. That beautiful building could have been put to good use. Windsor is ALL about tearing down anything of historical value. It's absolutely disgusting. Downtown is a JOKE. All Windsor is is a bunch of bars, a casino and bingos. If it weren't for my kids, friends and job, I would have left here years ago.
Would anyone know if the bricks from Grace Hospital are still for sale somewhere. I just heard they were selling them back when but missed the opportunity. I was born at Grace and my mother stayed at Faith Haven; does anyone have pictures of the that building. This is going back to 1949.
Help with this would be greatly be appreciated.
