The University of Windsor is getting the heritage treatment. The city’s heritage committee has recommended that six campus buildings get “batched” for a single notice of intention to designate because of their “cultural heritage” value. These are Assumption College – Hall #3 & Chapel, Dillon Hall, Memorial Hall, the John Stuart House and Kamen House - the last three all on Sunset Ave. - and the John H. Rodd House (photo) on Riverside Drive. Assumption College is located to the immediate west of Assumption Church and easily seen from Huron Church Rd. It’s an administrative building defined by its Gothic and Gothic Revival architecture with a “high degree of craftsmanship in brickwork & metalwork,” according to a city report. Dillon Hall, which houses classrooms and offices, has a Gothic Revival style. Memorial Hall is a “central hub” for classroom, labs and offices, according to the university, and is built in an art deco style. The John H. Rodd House has a high-profile location on Riverside Dr., built in the Prairie School and American Craftsman styles. Rodd was an influential Windsor barrister and Crown Attorney. The John Stuart House if of Colonial Revival architecture and is described as “one of Sandwich’s most beautiful homes in 1924.” Stuart was a Windsor businessman. It was sold to U Windsor in 1964 and is used as the residence of the acting president. The Kamen House is of Craftsman style. It was built for Dr. Royden E. Holmes, a prominent physician who modernized x-ray use in cancer research. It was later purchased by Dina & Zalman Kamen, prominent figures in Windsor’s Jewish community.
