Looking north from the former Schweitzer
Farm lane at the end of Dearborn Street (now University
Avenue) just north of the present day University Avenue
to the Columbia Street crossing. In this picture taken
around 1958, Engineering Building 1 at the University of
Waterloo in under construction. The white farmhouse
built in 1898 is still being used some 60 years (2020)
later as the Graduate House. The old Simons Eastern Ltd.
plant can be seen on the other side of the tracks. This
farm which was now owned by my father, Abram Wiebe, had
just been sold to the newly created University of
Waterloo. I visited the farm in 1956. |
