Notes: Windsor Hall was a hotel located in Fredericton, the capital city of the Canadian province of New Brunswick. From a 1905, Pocket Guide to the Principal Hotels in the various Canadian maritime provinces, it is known that Windsor Hall had a capacity of 100, a rate of $2.00 per day, and the proprietor was A.E. Evertt.

In Chapter 24 of Leaves of Knowledge (1904) by Elma MacGibbon, she writes the following about her stay in Fredericton: "I remained most of the summer at hotel "Windsor Hall," which is centrally located, and the most modern in the city, surrounded by the most beautiful shade trees, lawn and balcony, making it a perfect spot to while away the summer months. Every attention was rendered to aid in my enjoyment and I found everything pleasing at this fashionable resort."

Although the hotel's opening and closing dates are not known, Windsor Hall appears again in a 1926 Pocket Guidebook of the Real North America by William Harman Black.

The top banner contains the words "Windsor" "Hall" in block letters, and the bottom banner contains the word "Fredericton."
