Summary The competition to design and construct the government buildings in Ottawa, the new national capital, was one of the most important architectural events in nineteenth-century British North America, and the resulting buildings inspired a major movement in Canadian federal architecture. The Glory of Ottawa focuses on the 1859 design competition from which these unrivalled buildings emerged.
