Lonely Planet review

Commanding heavenly views of the lakefront on a priceless slab of real estate, the elegantly proportioned RC Harris Filtration Plant is a modern art-deco masterpiece that has appeared in countless movies and TV shows, as well as in Michael Ondaatje's In The Skin Of A Lion . Originally residents disparagingly dubbed it the 'Palace of Purification,' due to hefty construction costs during The Depression. It's currently closed to the public, but hardcore Ondaatje fans should call to see if tours are back on the agenda.
