Abbott's Guide to Ottawa and Vicinity/Langevin Block

LANGEVIN BLOCK.

The southern departmental building, on Wellington street (a view ol which is given on page 21), is named after Sir Hector Langevin, a former Minister of Public Works. In this building are the Departments of Agriculture and Post Office, and part of the Interior Department. A modification of Italian renaissance, built of sandstone from Newcastle, New Brunswick, this handsome building loses nothing by its contrast with those on the other three sides of Parliament square.
