About Confederation Building (Ottawa)

Historic Architecture, Architecture, Interesting Places, Other Buildings And Structures

The Confederation Building is a gothic revival office building designed by Richard Cotsman Wright and Thomas W. Fuller in Ottawa, Canada. Located just west of the Parliament Buildings at Bank and Wellington Streets, it is generally considered part of Parliament Hill.

Originally, the land where the Confederation Building and the Supreme Court of Canada now stand contained homes and businesses. These were expropriated by the government to allow for the construction of new federal buildings.

Work on the Confederation Building began when the cornerstone was laid by the Governor General on July 1, 1927 as part of the celebrations of Canada's Diamond Jubilee and it opened during 1931.
