Rideau Street has been Ottawa's premier commercial street since the 19th Century.
These two buildings, now incorporated into the Hudson's Bay Company Store, are typical of the commercial structures that once lined the street. 89 Rideau Street, constructed in 1910, is a simple white brick structure with restrained classically-inspired details. It's neighbour, 91 Rideau Street was completed in 1901 and features a stone string course and dressed stone lintels. The buildings, while very different stylistically, form part of a consistent turn-of-the-century streetscape that continues to the William Street Mall.
