Stepping into History

London Mechanics Institute - Heritage Building in London OntarioOne of the most attractive heritage building facades in London, Ontario  is only steps from my neighbourhood. The London Mechanics Institute was built in 1876 in what I’ve come to find out is the Second Empire architectural style. Although I’ve found myself rushing past this building on many occasions, it took one glance up from across the street to realize the immense presence of this historic structure along Dundas Street.
