Seagram Cultural Heritage Landscape - Local history right under your feet
Bonded Barrel Warehouse #9, Seagram Barrel Lofts
Barrel Warehouse #9 is a five-storey brick building used to age barrels of whisky. The buff yellow bricks are believed to have been made right here in Waterloo! This 1892 building also has some iconic features, such as blue shutters and a proud “Seagram Distillers” logo, a hint to its former use. If you look between the words “Seagram” and “Distillers” you will see neoclassical brick work design. This building has tall brick pilasters (pillar-like features built into the brick wall) which divides the front into three sections. The construction demonstrates a high degree of technical achievement. These warehouses were often built as the result of Joseph E. Seagram’s other passion, horse breeding and racing. It was said that Mr. Seagram would construct a new warehouse every time his horse won a significant race.
Barrel Warehouse #7, Seagram Barrel Lofts
Can you guess how many windows this eight and a half-storey building has? Read on to find out! Built around 1892, it was actually constructed with bricks called Waterloo white made only a kilometre away. The name comes from their light yellow colour and the place where they were made. Typical of Victorian industrial architecture, the building features brick pilasters that break the building into three sections vertically. In addition, each of the 142 windows are capped with brick arches. This large building once held a wooden racking system to support around 21,000 barrels of ageing whisky!
Winter’s chill brings a fresh sparkle to Downtown Kitchener, as snow blankets our streets and parks. We know winter can be cold and dark - but lets not forget all it’s beauty. ❄️������ Photos by @stuffedbox
Same here... it's an absolute gem. Proof positive that they CAN still 'build em like they used to,' they just usually choose not to, because they're cheap AF.
If you put everything starting with the title "West Campus" on the following line, then delete the capitalized "[IMG]" and "[/IMG]" surrounding the url, you get this:

Just copy and paste the "share to BB Code" of whatever size directly into the post and drop the title to the next line. That's it.
