The U.S. photographer behind a popular architecture social media account is focusing his lens across the border to Windsor.
Detroit-based Josh Lipnik runs Midwest Modern, a Twitter account that profiles compelling architecture in the U.S. midwest. He also sells prints of his work online.
In a series of recent posts, Lipnik takes his nearly 89,000 followers to well-known sites in Windsor. Those include St. Peter's Maronite Church, Chrysler Hall at the University of Windsor and the Yorktown Square sign.
Some of the buildings he showcases, like the Hiram Walker head office and Willistead Manor, were designed by famed Detroit architect Albert Kahn.
"I've seen so much of his work in Detroit," he said. "It was interesting getting to see that whole area of town on the other side of the river."
