401 Ouellette – Then and Now

Photo above from June 2002. The Park Building at the corner of Park & Ouellette, built in the mid 1920’s and designed by Sheppard & Masson, the building was horribly renovated and reclad.

Today, it looks a little like this ^^^

Hope everyone had a nice weekend and a belated Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there.

  • The building is still there and still a going concern so that's something. And hopefully what lies being the recladding will once again see the light of day.

  • What was knocked down at the 1500 block of Ouellette Saturday? I thought today's post would be on it.

  • David, near what building/area/store did you see something knocked down?? We're due to go there tomorrow and I'd like to see on the maps what was there...thanks

  • It is as if the residents and businesses of Windsor are making a concerted effort to transform the downtown area into the ugliest and most ruinous city in North America. Unbelievable what has happened that the city! The vibrant and colourful downtown that I remember when I was growing up is long gone, replaced by horrors like this one!
