Holy Redeemer College

Built in 1957 for the Redemptionist Fathers as a teaching seminary and training facility for missionaries. In 1963 it became affiliated with Assumption University the predecessor of the University of Windsor. Later it became a religious retreat before being sold in 1995.

The building was designed by architect Francis Barry Byrne (1883-1967), in the mid century modernist style with a touch of the Prairie School style. Byrne began his architectural career with Frank Lloyd Wright and the building is considered one of his best works, featuring a chapel highlighted by stained glass windows designed by his wife Annette Cremin Byrne.
