Erected in 1907 in Windsor, Ontario, the Water's Edge Event Centre stands as a Renaissance Revival landmark originally built as Our Lady of the Rosary Church. Designed by the Williams Brothers as a replacement for the earlier Our Lady of the Lake Church, the structure is distinguished by twin bell towers crowned with copper domes that frame a circular staircase, features prominently visible from the waterfront. The Catholic parish once encompassed multiple daughter congregations but closed in 2007 due to mounting maintenance demands and declining membership. Purchased by Larry Horwitz in 2013, the building underwent extensive renovations to transform it into an event venue. It is designated a heritage property under Part IV protection.
