East Block

More Quicktime VR
THE EAST BLOCK on Parliament Hill was built in two stages. The main section went up in the mid-1800s at the same time as the West Block and the original Centre Block. Then, in 1910, a wing was added at the rear. The purpose, style and appearance of the 1910 wing were quite different from those of the earlier structures. Today's conservation and renovation work aims to preserve the distinctive characteristics of both sections.
