An extraordinary exhibit on display inside the Albert Kahn designed Willistead Manor. A look at Windsor's colourful history through the eyes of artists and photographers. On display will be a tribute to Albert Kahn and 15 of Kahn's Walkerville design-builds (1893-1922), including Kahn's unpublished architectural drawings.

Despite the dreary, rainy weather, we ventured over to Windsor to Willistead Manor this afternoon to see "Windsor's Artful Past." A very nice exhibit!! Especially enjoyed the Albert Kahn, The Lost City, Walkerville: A Model Town, and the Tribute to the Automobile exhibits!! Kudos to the Walkerville Publishing folks for putting this together. Nice to meet you!! |
