Ambassador Apartments
Built in 1928 on Ouellette Ave. in Windsor, this well kept building was built by local deveolper Clinton Laidlaw. Something tells me, the name of the building was used to tie into the Bridge fever that must have been sweeping the region as the Ambassador Bridge was nearing completion.
The leaded glass over the front door has the building name inset.
An ad from the Windsor Star from December 27, 1928 advertising that the building is “open for inspection”. Rates started at $45 a month.
The Ambassador today, still a great looking building after 78 years.
Thanks for the picture of this lovely building. Some of those buildings on Ouellette are overlooked gems.
does anyone know what kind of shape this building is in these days? i’m thinking about moving there from edmonton. thanks, m.
Megan, I’ve never heard anything bad or good about the place, so I’m sure it’s fine.
