the wenonah

The Wenonah building has sat comfortably on the southwest corner of Main Street and East 11th Avenue for close to a century now...
The elegant neo-classical doorway to the apartments has been maintained and adds a grace-note to this side of the building on East 11th that houses a theatre studio and a massage and therapy centre on the street level...
The residents have also greened this section of the sidewalk with lush plantings...parting for a back view of the Holy Trinity Ukrainian Orthodox Church on East 10th Avenue...







Many of the casement windows still retain scenic and intricate stained glass panes adding sparks of colour and light to the solid brick façade...


[I would like to know more about the Wenonah - if anyone out there has information about this building and/or knows someone who lives in the apartments, please do let me know...thank you!]
