🇨🇦 Windsor's Little Italy – The Story Behind the Clock Tower! 🇮🇹

Have you ever noticed this beautiful clock tower at the roundabout on Erie Street East and Parent Avenue in Windsor?

It's more than just a landmark. It honours a doctor who made a lasting difference in the community!

🏛️ A tribute to a beloved doctor: The Dr. Lazarus Jovanovic Memorial Clock Tower was approved in 2017 to honour a physician who served Windsor residents for approximately 50 years.

❤️ A doctor who cared: Dr. Jovanovic was known for making house calls, working late into the night and helping immigrant families. He sometimes provided medical care free of charge, especially during the years before Ontario's public health insurance system.

🕰️ An impressive landmark: Standing approximately 33 feet tall, the limestone-and-concrete monument was designed to become a distinctive feature of Windsor's historic Via Italia district.

🇮🇹 A neighbourhood rich in history: Erie Street has long been the heart of Windsor's Italian community, with generations of immigrants helping establish its restaurants, shops, churches and cultural traditions.

🚴 Did you know? Erie Street is also famous for the Tour di Via Italia bicycle races, a Windsor tradition dating back to 1958!

Today, the clock tower stands as a reminder of the people who helped shape Windsor's multicultural history.

📍 Erie Street East & Parent Avenue, Windsor, Ontario.

🇨🇦 A Century of History on Windsor’s Victoria Avenue

Recognize this building? At 664 Victoria Avenue, the former Temple Baptist Church has been part of Windsor’s story for over 100 years!

⛪ Its roots go back to 1886: The congregation originally worshipped at Bruce Avenue Baptist Church. By 1921, it had outgrown that building and purchased land on Victoria Avenue.

🧱 A 1920s landmark: City records date the building to 1924, while the congregation’s history records its dedication in 1925. It was designed by Windsor architect Douglas C. Winter, blending Gothic Revival and Arts and Crafts features.

🤝 A place of community support: Many residents remember it as the Downtown Mission, which used the building to provide meals and support to people in need before leaving in 2022.

🎬 A creative new chapter: The Windsor Centre for Film, Digital Media & the Creative Arts took over the facility in 2022, giving the historic property a new role supporting local arts and youth filmmaking.

Do you remember this building as Temple Baptist Church or the Downtown Mission?
