Built in 1916 at no. 1164 Queen Street East.
"This is a 1 and a half storey residence prominently situated at the corner of Riverview Avenue in the east central part of the city. Built in 1916 for grocer William H. Ewing, the exterior is of Prairie-style stucco design with Tudor elements upstairs, and remains in original condition. The interior is also little changed with original and enhanced woodwork throughout.
This beautiful Prairie-style residence is one of only two in the city and was designed and built by the same builder as the home at 911 Wellington Street East previously designated in 2008. The unique stucco exterior finish over-all is in quite good condition but some areas below windows and along the upstairs' balcony wall need repair and painting. There is some Tudor influence with false half boards under some upstairs windows. The home has a sandstone foundation with a single row of upturned brick above this on which the walls are situated. All windows are original wood with original storms in place throughout. There is a pair of upstairs dormer windows and a door and small balcony off another bedroom on that level. The roof overhangs this balcony with original wooden rafters exposed and supported. A set of five bay windows at the southeast corner is also overhung by an extended roof. Here the sandstone foundation extends upwards to the window sills. A large front porch with cement floor surrounded by the row of vertical bricks above the foundation is covered by a roof supported by six massive stuccoed pillars. While there is only a small window on this side, there is a unique set of French doors leading in from the porch. Above the porch roof are located four bay windows. On the west side is a lovely side entrance with original interior door and a boot room. The stone stairs does need some repair. Upstairs at the rear is what appears to be an add-on room to replace what may have originally have been a roof deck. It is constructed of painted clapboard and not of heritage value.
The main-floor interior of this home, except for the kitchen and bathroom is largely unchanged from its original construction-beautiful wood (mainly oak) throughout-floors, mouldings, windows, doors and roof beams. The latter have been added to some rooms but in a manner to make it difficult to distinguish from the originals. There are brick fireplaces in the living and sitting rooms. The boot room of the side entrance has original bevelled and stained glass in the windows. All rooms have original hot water radiators.
The second floor is original and perhaps one of a kind. The design of the ceiling of one bedroom is unique as it must accommodate a window and the door to the small balcony. And the ceiling design accommodating the windows in the other rooms is also unusually angular. The upstairs bathrooms have unique and very expensive wood panelling that is likely not replaceable.
The grounds are also unique with well-kept flower beds around the front and sides of the corner lot. A number of Italian marble statues grace the grounds as do two marble lions on either side of the side entrance. The property is generally in very good condition and needs only minor maintenance.
The key features that embody the heritage value of 1164 Queen Street East include:
- Constructed in 1916, this is one of only two Prairie-style homes in the city, designed and built by the same builder as 911 Wellington Street East;
- Original wood windows with storms throughout;
- Unique upstairs "widow's walk" balcony off upstairs bedroom;
- Beautiful set of five bay windows grace the southeast corner with overhanging roof;
- A large front porch, bordered by a row of upturned bricks and with roof supported by six massive stuccoed pillars;
- There is a unique set of original wooden French doors leading into the living room from this porch;
- A lovely side entrance with original wooden interior door and boot room graces the west side;
- Beautiful bevelled and stained glass windows grace this boot room;
- Prominent east central location on busy Queen Street means property is well recognized throughout the community." - info from Heritage Trust application.
"Sault Ste. Marie (/ˈsuː seɪnt məˈriː/ SOO-seint-ma-REE) is a city on the St. Marys River in Ontario, Canada, close to the Canada–US border. It is the seat of the Algoma District and the third largest city in Northern Ontario, after Sudbury and Thunder Bay.
The Ojibwe, the indigenous Anishinaabe inhabitants of the area, call this area Baawitigong, meaning "place of the rapids." They used this as a regional meeting place during whitefish season in the St. Mary's Rapids. (The anglicized form of this name, Bawating, is used in institutional and geographic names in the area.)
To the south, across the river, is the United States and the Michigan city of the same name. These two communities were one city until a new treaty after the War of 1812 established the border between Canada and the United States in this area at the St. Mary's River. In the 21st century, the two cities are joined by the International Bridge, which connects Interstate 75 on the Michigan side, and Huron Street (and former Ontario Secondary Highway 550B) on the Ontario side. Shipping traffic in the Great Lakes system bypasses the Saint Mary's Rapids via the American Soo Locks, the world's busiest canal in terms of tonnage that passes through it, while smaller recreational and tour boats use the Canadian Sault Ste. Marie Canal.
French colonists referred to the rapids on the river as Les Saults de Ste. Marie and the village name was derived from that. The rapids and cascades of the St. Mary's River descend more than 6 m (20 ft) from the level of Lake Superior to the level of the lower lakes. Hundreds of years ago, this slowed shipping traffic, requiring an overland portage of boats and cargo from one lake to the other. The entire name translates to "Saint Mary's Rapids" or "Saint Mary's Falls". The word sault is pronounced [so] in French, and /suː/ in the English pronunciation of the city name. Residents of the city are called Saultites.
Sault Ste. Marie is bordered to the east by the Rankin and Garden River First Nation reserves, and to the west by Prince Township. To the north, the city is bordered by an unincorporated portion of Algoma District, which includes the local services boards of Aweres, Batchawana Bay, Goulais and District, Peace Tree and Searchmont. The city's census agglomeration, including the townships of Laird, Prince and Macdonald, Meredith and Aberdeen Additional and the First Nations reserves of Garden River and Rankin, had a total population of 79,800 in 2011.
Native American settlements, mostly of Ojibwe-speaking peoples, existed here for more than 500 years. In the late 17th century, French Jesuit missionaries established a mission at the First Nations village. This was followed by development of a fur trading post and larger settlement, as traders, trappers and Native Americans were attracted to the community. It was considered one community and part of Canada until after the War of 1812 and settlement of the border between Canada and the US at the Ste. Mary's River. At that time, the US prohibited British traders from any longer operating in its territory, and the areas separated by the river began to develop as two communities, both named Sault Ste. Marie." - info from Wikipedia.

Founded in 1913, Riverview Hospital was a Canadian mental health facility located in Coquitlam. The last facility closed in 2012, though many of the other buildings had been abandoned by then.
The North Branch Riverwalk, a biking and walking trail along the North Branch of the Chicago River, stretches between W. Belmont Street to just south of W. Irving Park Boulevard. The trail goes through the Clark Playlot Park, the site of the former Riverview Amusement Park that features a boathouse that offers canoe and kayak rentals. It was extended in late 2019 after completion of the Riverview Bridge, the city’s longest bike/pedestrian river bridge at more than 1,000 feet long and 16 feet wide, under W. Addison Street.
Deventer (The Netherlands) was probably founded around 768 by the English missionary Lebuinus, who built a wooden church on the east bank of the river IJssel. In January 772 the sack and burning of this church by a Saxon expedition was the cause for the first punitive war waged by Charlemagne to the Saxons, in which, in retribution, the Irminsul (the Saxon sacred tree, probably near modern Paderborn) was destroyed. This was not the first human settlement at the location; between 1981 and 2006, remains of a Bronze Age settlement (dated to c.400 CE) were excavated at Colmschate, 4 km east of the current city. The towers of the St. Nicholas Church date back to c. 1200.
The village of Deventer, already important because of a trading road crossing the river IJssel, was looted and burnt down by the Vikings in 882. It was immediately rebuilt and fortified with an earthen wall (in the street Stenen Wal remains of this wall have been excavated and restored).
Deventer received city rights in 956, after which fortifications were built or replaced by stone walls around the city for defense. Between 1000 and 1500, Deventer grew to be a flourishing trade city because of its harbour on the river IJssel, which was capable of accommodating large ships. The city eventually joined the Hanseatic League.
One of the commodities it traded in, dried haddock and cod from Norway, gave the citizens the nickname they carry to this day: "Deventer Stokvis" In the 15th century, Deventer had a common mint, where coins for the three IJssel cities Deventer, Zwolle, and Kampen were made.
Deventer is the birthplace of Geert Groote and home to his Brethren of the Common Life, a school of religious thought that influenced Thomas a Kempis and Erasmus in later times. Together with Haarlem it was among the first cities to have printing presses, dating back to as early as 1477. From around 1300, it also housed a Latin School, which became internationally renowned, and remained in service in changing forms until 1971. Its most well-known was the scholar Desiderius Erasmus, who was born in 1466 and attended the school from 1475 to 1484.
Between 1500 and 1800, the volume of water flowing through the IJssel decreased, decreasing the importance of Deventer's harbour. The competition with trade centres in Holland, as well as the religious war between 1568 and 1648, brought a decline in the city's economy.
In the 18th century, the iron industry came to Deventer. East of the town, so-called "oer", riversand containing iron, was found as early as 900. From this material, ore was produced and brought to town. The main road of the villages Okkenbroek, Lettele and Schalkhaar is still named Oerdijk (Ore Dyke).
In the 19th century, Deventer became an industrial town. Bicycles (Burgers), carpets (Koninklijke Deventer Tapijtfabriek), tins and cans for food and drinks (Thomassen & Drijver), cigars (Horst & Maas en Bijdendijk & Ten Hove), foundry and heavy machinery (Nering Bögel), and textiles (Ankersmit) were produced until the mid to late 20th century. Some of these industries are still thriving today, such as beds and accessories (Auping) and publishing (Wolters Kluwer, now headquartered in Alphen aan den Rijn) services and publishing company.
The Deventer honey cake (Bussink Deventer Koek), produced in Deventer for over 500 years, is still manufactured locally and sold all over the Netherlands and beyond.
Riverview Hospital is a mental health facility located in Coquitlam, British Columbia. Riverview opened in 1913 and had 4,630 patients at its peak in 1950.[1] In January 2009, only 256 active beds remained, in early 2012 only 3 wards remained containing less than 50 patients and as of mid June 2012 only 2 wards remain. The final two wards closed on Friday the 13th of July, 2012.
