SooToday looks back at the city's longstanding Windsor brand as the newly renovated Windsor Place Retirement Residence on Queen Street begins welcoming new occupants
EDITOR'S NOTE: A version of this article was originally published on SooToday on May 15, 2023. We are posting the story again for readers who may have missed it, and to include a dozen more historic photographs of the Windsor Park provided by the Sault Ste. Marie Museum.
The new hotel, which stands on Queen Street today, was constructed a year later. The northwest corner of the hotel was added in 1913, and the familiar nine-storey high-rise tower was added in 1931.During their royal visit to the Sault on July 8, 1959, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip attended a luncheon in the Queen’s honour at the Windsor Hotel.
After the hotel had gone bankrupt, Dr. Lou Lukenda purchased the establishment in 1996 and re-opened it as Windsor Park Retirement Residence, which later closed in the 2000s. The following year, it sold again, this time to a private-investment group planning a student residence to serve a private, athletics-focused school based at The Tech in the former St. Marys College on Wellington Street East.
During COVID, the building underwent a number of renovations – both inside and out – in preparation for the site’s third attempt at establishing an assisted living facility.
