Walker planned it as a 'model town’ (originally called 'Walker's Town') that would be the envy of both the region and the continent.

Later, the town supported other major industries, notably automotive manufacturing.

Willistead Manor
Willistead Park is located in the Walkerville neighbourhood, just east of downtown Windsor. The park contains the old Willistead Manor, a mansion built from 1904 to 1906. Most of the houses that border the park across the streets are stylized in industrial revolution-England style, with rounded windows and row-houses with steep roofs. Every year, this park hosts "Art In The Park", in June, a large and very popular arts and crafts show.
