700 Sussex

Canada / Ontario / Ottawa / Ottawa Municipal Road \93/ - Sussex Drive, 700

A mixed-use residential building that includes both luxury condominiums and public housing. Ottawa mayor Larry O'Brien reportedly lives here.

Former site of the Daly Building. Built in 1905, it was Ottawa's first department store and a rare example - for Ottawa - of turn of the century Chicago architecture. In 1921, it was sold for office space as the federal government began a gradual takeover of sites on Sussex Drive. After a series of ill-advised alterations to its exterior, the last federal tenants moved out in 1978.

A classic example of the NCC's incompetence. For more information:
