Walkerville, Ontario
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Walkerville, Ontario, Canada was developed by whiskey mogul Hiram Walker in the late 1800s. The company town grew around the site of his original distillery built in 1858. The town amalgamated with Windsor in the mid 1900s and hosts some of Windsor's grandest homes, including the Albert Kahn designed Willistead Manor, now owned by the City of Windsor and used as a banquet and meeting facility.
This urban area is home to much of Windsor's walkable communities. The City Market, Ottawa Street and Walkerville's Wyandotte Street section are well travelled spaces, and Walkerville has seen a blossoming of demand as people seek to find purpose-mixed neighbourhoods.
