- Colour postcard with view of the fountain and small park belonging to the Kuntz Brewery at William and King Streets. Also called Crystal Park. Note electric street car in background.
- Notes
- The brewery was started by David Kuntz in the 1830s. In the early 1870s, his son Louis took over, renaming it L. Kuntz’s Park Brewery. After 1929 it was sold and became Carling-Kuntz Brewery until approximately 1940 when the Kuntz name was dropped. In 1977 Carling Brewery was purchased by Labatt Breweries of London, but the Waterloo plant was closed by 1993 and all the buildings on the site had been demolished.
Electric street cars were in use after 1895.
