This four-storey limestone building on the Speed River was initially built in 1847 by Jacob Hespeler as a stone grist and flour mill. During the twentieth century, the former mill site has had a variety of names. The owners have been American Standard since 1969, now a division of Wabco Standard Drain. The mill dam and adjacent "Jacob’s Landing" park are a great place to view this historic stone mill. The plan is to renovate the building for condominiums.
Love the wide angle. Fantastic shot! I'm from Stratford and I love seeing photos from that area.

The American Standard plant in west-end Toronto has been converted to rental apartments and they are now building condos on some of the property.
ReplyDeleteThe perspective is wonderful, I like how the falls lead your eyes to the mill and church.
ReplyDeleteI love buildings like this and I'd rather see them converted to condos than being torn down.
Great panorama, Andy.
ReplyDeleteBreathtaking! I love the composition.
ReplyDeleteNice work. I wonder if Jacob's Landing is the starting place for Jacob's ladder?
