Glory of Ottawa
Author: Carolyn Ann YoungPublisher: McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP
ISBN: 9780773512276
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 228
Book Description
In The Glory of Ottawa Carolyn Young takes the reader on an architectural tour of Canada's first parliament buildings. In the early 1860s these remarkable buildings - particularly the monumental Centre Block, which was destroyed by fire in 1916, and the magnificent polygonal library - became a tangible symbol of Canada's emerging nationhood and one of the most progressive and eclectic examples of the British secular Gothic Revival style.
Ottawa: An Illustrated History
Author: John H. TaylorPublisher: James Lorimer & Company
ISBN: 088862980X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
Bytown's early years - as military outpost and lumber town - did not presage greatness. Yet this rough little town (renamed Ottawa in 1855) did not remain insignificant, for geography and politics soon combined to place it at centrestage as Canada's national capital. Ottawa's fascinating story is recounted with skill and wit in John H. Taylor's Ottawa: An Illustrated History. Taylor tells this story in all its variations - the life of the French and the English, the poor and the rich; the politics of city hall and Parliament Hill; the social lives of Ottawans. Crisp and colourful, Ottawa: An Illustrated History focuses on the history of the city's relationship with its landlord - the federal government - but it also does more. It weaves together, for the first time, all the complex strands that over the years have shaped Ottawa's identity. Ottawa: An Illustrated History is handsomely illustrated by 150 historical photographs and by a dozen original maps depicting the city's geographical evolution.
