Regarding 100 Wellington Street / 100, Rue Wellington. Canadian Federal Heritage Buliding #15144
Also see . . . Former U.S. Embassy, Canadian Federal Heritage Building. This embassy was the first permanent home of the U.S. Legation in Canada, the first foreign mission at Ottawa, and thus a benchmark in Canada’s gradual assumption of sovereignty over foreign affairs. It was also one of the first of a series of purpose-built embassy buildings constructed by the U.S. government around the world, signifying the rise and establishment of the United States as a leading world power. Executed in the Beaux-Arts style, it is one of the most refined examples of its type in Canada and an important late work of American architect Cass Gilbert.
