Waterloo Region's Top 10 Buildings

[ookpik]

I worked in that building when it was still the Canada Trust building (prior to that it was the Waterloo Trust Building).  When I worked there I was told, at the time of it's construction, it was the tallest building in Waterloo Region and they would conduct tours to the top floor for the general public to see the view.

You mean this?



Waterloo Trust tower was called a skyscraper 

The trust company used the first four floors. Atop the building a 25-ton neon sign displayed the words Waterloo Trust in four directions — with letters that were almost two metres high.


"Kitchener's tallest building will be set back 40 feet (12 metres) from King Street, providing an area for landscaping," the Record newspaper reported in a 1962 story announcing the project. "There will be several steps up to the main floor level, putting the building on a pedestal."
