Take a virtual tour of Uncle Tom’s Cabin.

Part 2 of my Kingsville Postcard Collection. I mentioned a while back that I’d take photos and post here. Enjoy! Always looking to add ones I don’t have to my collection as well as local historical pieces such as milk bottles, Mettawas pieces, railway, etc.

The John Muir Branch - 363 Mill Street in Sandwich Town - has been awarded the Lieutenant Governor’s Ontario Heritage Award for Excellence in Conservation. Th...e award recognizes outstanding contributions to cultural heritage, sustainability, biodiversity and natural heritage conservation. John Muir Branch celebrates the adaptive re-use of a 1921 fire hall and adjacent fire hall stable dating back to the mid-19th century into a $5.5 million, 7400 square foot public library. The two heritage-designated buildings were constructed in a manner that speaks to their past while looking toward present and future library use. Located in the heart of Windsor’s historic Sandwich neighbourhood, it highlights reclaimed materials and historic construction techniques as well as contemporary library technology. Notable features include a glass-capped observation tower, a suspended bridge made from reclaimed wood found on site and a flexible performance space available for use by local groups and organizations. If you haven’t already visited, we would love to see you!
