From the National Capital Commission's website: | | "This four-storey commercial block was built in 1883 and was originally owned by the Scottish Ontario and Manitoba Land Company. It was a prestigious commercial address in the late 19th and early 20th centuries for Ottawa's business and professional elite, and among the last large brick or stone complexes to be constructed. The building incorporates many fine architectural details and anchors one end of Sparks Street. In 1994, the NCC integrated that important structure (with the Central Chambers next door) into a new office complex called the Chambers Building, which now houses the NCC headquarters.
