When I walked by Ottawa’s eyesore, the US embassy, I saw this beautiful building. It’s the Connaught Building.
The Connaught Building is a historic office building. It’s on Sussex Drive, near the Fairmont Château Laurier. Today it houses the HQ of the Canada Revenue Agency. The building is named after the Duke of Connaught, who was the Governor General of Canada at the time of the construction. Prince Arthur served as the Governor General of Canada from 1911 to 1916.
Fairmont Chateau Laurier

The Fairmont Château Laurier is a landmark hotel in Canada’s capital region, Ottawa. It’s located on the intersection of Rideau Street and Sussex Drive. It’s very close to Parliament Hill and has been used as a meeting place for many notable political figures. It’s sometimes referred as the “third chamber of Parliament”.
The hotel is an impressive sight. That region of downtown Ottawa is filled with great buildings, excluding the eyesore of downtown Ottawa, the US embassy. I didn’t have time to visit it, but it’s built in a picturesque location. One side of the hotel is on Rideau Canal. The CMCP is wedged in between them, but you can’t really see much of it.
Ottawa’s Eyesore

The architectural eyesore that many people from Ottawa like to talk about is the US embassy on Sussex Dr.
The design reminds me of the Supreme Court of Canada building.
