Windsor, Ontario: the City of Roses, the Automotive Capital of Canada, South Detroit. Whatever name you know it by, this is a city that has flourished and transformed over the years, growing and changing with its industrial nature. InWindsor: Then & Now, architectural specialist Andrew Foot partners with landscape photographer Ian Virtue to explore the life of this mid-sized, blue-collar town through photographs. By contrasting historic images, stretching from the turn of the century to the modernist 1970s, with photographs of today's Windsor, we see a cityscape in vivid relief. From the Gothic towers of St. Mary's Academy, levelled for a suburban neighbourhood, to the vibrant downtown Norwich Block replaced by the skyscraping Chrysler tower, Windsor: Then & Now shows us a city balancing a rich heritage with a taste for the new-a constant flux, shifting and renewing itself with the times.

Andrew Foot is Windsor's leading architectural historian. He has documented the built history of Windsor and Essex County online for the past two decades. Andrew exhibited twice at the Art Gallery of Windsor, and published a companion guidebook to one of the exhibitions entitled Windsor Modern. Andrew has been actively involved in the preservation of Windsor's heritage since 2004 as a volunteer member of the former Windsor Heritage Committee and currently as a member of the Heritage Standing Committee. His research on local architectural history can be found online at internationalmetropolis.com. He enjoys travelling and taking in architecture and culture around the world. Andrew lives with his wife in Windsor.
