Willistead Manor
Willistead Manor is a historic house located in the former town of Walkerville, Ontario, now part of Windsor, Ontario, Canada. Willistead Manor was designed by renowned architect Albert Kahn in the 16th-century Tudor-Jacobean style of an English manor house. It was built in 1904–1906, and was commissioned by Edward Chandler Walker, the second son of Hiram Walker. It is named after the first son, Willis Walker, a lawyer in Detroit, Michigan, who died young. Contrary to popular belief, Hiram Walker never lived in the home. Edward and his wife never had any children. After Edward passed on in 1915, Mrs. Walker did not care to keep living in the big home alone, and she deeded the house and grounds to the town of Walkerville. When Walkerville was amalgamated with Windsor in 1935, it obtained ownership of Willistead. In the years after its use as a residence, Willistead served as the Walkerville Town Hall, Art Gallery of Windsor Art Windsor-Essex (AWE) (formerly known as the Ar ...

Sandwich First Baptist Church

Holy Redeemer College
Holy Redeemer College is a Roman Catholic institution that provides housing to priests and religious brothers who are pursuing studies in Washington, D.C. Located at 3112 7th Street, NE in the city's Brookland neighborhood, it is run by the Baltimore Province of the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer, better known as the Redemptorists. The college's proximity to several other Catholic institutions means that it is part of the Edgewood, Brookland, Michigan Park area sometimes referred to as "Little Rome". Despite its name, "college" does not represent the modern educational definition but rather the more classical definition. Here, "college" is related to the Latin word ''collegium'', meaning "collection", which is often used in the Catholic Church. In early 2015, plans were announced to add 41 rowhouses to the property that will be located to the north and south of the current building (which will remain). It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places The ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
