Walkerville Light & Power building

nobody@ipernity.com (WindsorDi) — Sun, 03 May 2015 06:41:18 +0000

Listed, but not designated, as a historical building. Albert Kahn was a very young architect when this was built.
The design mirrors the early modern industry modular design of the Packard Plant, Detroit. The exoskeleton is in the rebar and beam design of the outside walls.

This town Hall was built in 1904, originally on Sandwich Street (now called Riverside Drive), but was moved round the corner on to Devonshire to avoid demolition in the 1990's... and put onto the foundations of the old St Mary's Church... which had been previously moved ....

At one point ( up until the late 1950's) the railway station was across the street here, on Devonshire.

Part of the Père Marquette Railway , this was originally the station's hotel - built across the street to receive arriving travellers.

Of note, this building was unfortunately sandblasted as a part of its restoration, and the brick facade has been degenerationing ever since...
