POSTCARD

Date: Posted September 17, 1903.

Publisher / Photographer: Unidentified

Notation:
Description taken from vintagepostcards.ca: "This postcard shows Windsor armouries, built between January 1, 1900 and January 1, 1902, designed in the Richardsonian Romanesque style by David Ewart of the Federal Department of Public Works, and a piper, and was likely issued about 1901, possibly in support of soldiers participating in the Boer War. The 25,000 square foot armouries, constructed for $60,000, were used to welcome home the soldiers returning from the Boer War."
