Heritage Building section of City Hall
South of the courthouse on Elgin Street stands the old Ottawa
Normal School, built in 1875, and which now serves as the "Heritage
Building" section of City Hall. Connected to the modern wing, the
Heritage Building contains the offices of the Mayor and members of
Council (the mayor's office overlooks Elgin Street), as well as a
number of offices and committee rooms (including one committee room
located in the former gymnasium of the Normal School).
The Heritage Building was designated a National Historic Site of
Canada in 1974.
