Description

Photo of the Government House (at the time new in 1915). This building was built between 1911 and 1915 for Ontario's Lieutenant Governor.

This building was thought to be a waste of taxpayers' money in the 1930s and closed down. By 1960 it was one of many heritage buildings to be demolished - the land turned into parkland.

This photo comes from a series of 20 photographs dated 1915. Three show the St. Marys Cement Plant while 17 show buildings and bridges (mostly in Toronto) constructed using Rogers Cement. They were in a sales package, and came to us from Ron Laidlaw.
