Downtown Kingston, Ontario, Canada








Prince George Hotel




















Eric bought the best
granola he ever had at
Kingston Public Market
behind City Hall.












The stone work that accents
 this building is beautiful. 














Grand architecture
abounds...


















I love the turret 
on this building.





A fire swept through the Kingston waterfront in 1840, destroying much of the homes and businesses constructed of wood.  Regulations were developed that ensured that reconstructed Kingston would be made of non flammable materials.  Limestone is abundant in the area and the building material of choice.










Many of the oldest buildings
in the city are constructed
with limestone.

























Kingston is home to
many churches....
















The Greek Orthodox Church











Saint George's
Cathedral









As a waterfront city, Kingston saw the transit of all kinds of goods through this part
 of Ontario.












I wish I had more time today.  There are other sections of the city to visit...
