Ontario - Ottawa - Wellington St. S side

Ottawa - South side of Wellington St.



Looking south from Wellington St., and then north on Lyons St., at the Memorial Arch, which connects the West and East Memorial Buildings. The plaque shows a row of soldiers, not a trilobite.


Possibly inspired by First Nations art, these fish grace the doorway over the West Memorial Building.


This building entered Ottawa in 1930.


The Union Bank Building is just a block away and much older, dating to 1887.


Views of the Langevin Block from the east side around to the west side. Built in 1889, it houses the Office of the Prime Minister.


Although it fronts on all-important Wellington St., the National War Memorial points south toward Confederation Park. The only photo I got from that angle was at night.


Plenty of views of the northern backside of the monument. Both World Wars and the Korean War are commemorated.


Crossing the Rideau River, the next building is the 1912 Union Station, now in use as the Government Conference Centre and with no trace of the rail lines that once came through the city.


The light poles are topped with maple leaves! Who would have thought the national capital is so Canadian?


The Rideau Centre is a fairly modern mall just across Colonel By Drive from Government Conference Centre, but you wouldn't know it from this view because its frontispiece is the 1907 Ogilvy's department store.
