Summary edit

Description So here it is then, Ottawa's old Union Station. Trains no longer call there, in fact there are no train tracks withing miles of the place (the present Ottawa station is quite far away and looks more like an airport). This grand structure is now called the Government Conference Centre and as the ridiculously boring name suggests, it hosts federal government conferences now and then. The building is closed to the public for all but two days a year, which is a shame considering what an enduring beauty this building is. Those who know Ottawa's history know the Government Conference Centre as the old Union Station, once Ottawa's showpiece train station. This old building is located right in the heart of the capital, beside the Rideau Canal, just east of the National War Memorial, steps from Parliament Hill and across the street from its from its former railway colleague, the Château Laurier, which was completed around the same time. (Ottawa, Canada, June 2015)
