Album Info:

The growing need for office space was intensified by the new provinces but it had never really let up. While it was growing in size, the country was also becoming aware and proud of its history, culture and achievements. From 1900 to 1913 the Royal Canadian Mint, the Public Archives and the National Museum all moved into new buildings. Parliament Hill was still the centrepiece of the government in Ottawa, but these and other buildings, all designed in a distinctive style, had begun to transform the character of Ottawa. The influence of Parliament Hill had begun to stretch beyond the boundary wall.

  • Well, I'd have kept the old buildings without the company of the new ones, but.....this is the trend now!
