Windsor Water Works

From the Township of Sandwich, published in 1907 by Frederick Neal, a photo of the Windsor Water Works. This building was built in 1873 and was on the north side of Riverside Dr at about Langlois. Today only the late built (1914) pump house remains standing. The water works were replaced in the late 1920’s by the plant still in operation at Wyandotte and Central.

Have a good weekend everyone, see you back here Monday.

  • JBM in this photo the building seems to be quite far from the road,i checked the photo from your link from the vault Langlois pumping atation and it appears to be real close to the road I have a book titled Connected How the railroads built Windsor there is a photo taken from west of the old CNR freight sheds that once stood near this location in the photo you can see the tall smoke stack and what appears to be the largest part of the building and that track I would say was probably for the street cars
