Lonely Planet review for RC Harris Filtration Plant
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 Great Depression. The operational filtration plant is currently closed to the public, but hard-core Ondaatje fans should call to see if tours are back on the agenda.
