Montgomery Ward & Company Headquarters from North Kingsbury Street

 

View looking northwest along North Kingsbury Street from underneath the Ohio-Ontario Street bridge, towards the Montgomery Ward & Company headquarters (now The Montgomery condominiums). The warehouse in front of it with the word "Carron" on the south wall is now the Park Kingsbury Lofts (660 North Kingsbury Street). Further to the left, the top part of 520 West Erie is just visible below the rooftop water tower painted with an "Early Times" whiskey advertisement. Railroad tracks are visible in the right foreground, and signals for a level crossing stand at the intersection with West Ontario Street.
