Upper Bytown

Описание: The area north of Wellington Street has some of the most impressive government buildings in Ottawa. The Supreme Court of Canada, the Justice and Confederation Buildings and the Library and Archives of Canada all reside within this area west of Parliament Hill bounded by the west end of Parliament Hill and the north side of Wellington St opposite Bay. Prior to the construction of these buildings, the community that existed at this location predated them by more than 100 years.
