Justice Building

Originally known as "Block D", the Justice Building was constructed between 1935 and 1938 to provide working and living accommodation for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. It was later reassigned to the Department of Justice and became the Justice Building. With its steep, pitched copper roof, dormer windows, turrets and carved detailing, it is a very good example of the Chateau style of architecture of the grand hotels built in the early 20th century by the large railway companies in major Canadian cities across the country.

Justice Building

In 1998-2001, the Justice Building was renovated to create permanent office space for 85 Members of Parliament and their staff. The current office configuration and architectural finishes enhance the building's heritage character.
