Wharf
Pastel postcard from the turn of century (?) showing the wharf, adjacent train station and buildings along Water Street. Note water tanks on southern skyline, presumably to supply factories there. With the boats, train and horse-drawn wagon this was an inter-modal hub.

Probably same original image as above but with different cropping and tinting. Top 20% of postcard trimmed off by CAW. //from Chuck Julian postcard collection//

Hotel Windsor
Architect Charles W. Bates, present building (second postcard) built 1914. 1907 postcard from the Chuck Julian collection - note this building was a predecessor to the current building seen below.

1942 postcard from the Chuck Julian collection

[|History] of hotels at WIndsor location. In 1815 the Sprigg House was built, and perhaps in 1885 was replaced with the St James which was later renamed the Hotel Windsor (top postcard), and the name remained after 1914 when the current building was erected.

Mil Pouch Tobacco Factory
3900? Water St Mail Pouch Tobacco painted wall. This is a view inside the factory from about 1938. Linda Jean Limes Ellis supplied the photo from her aunt's, Irene (Zagorsky) Ferner, collection. Irene is seated just to the left of the most prominent pole as you look at the photograph.

4000 Water St
//Nice post-art deco building, currently housing Swisher International, whatever that is.//
