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.
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.
