Parliament Buildings, Ottawa — Center Building, Fuller & Jones, 1863
In December 1857, Queen Victoria chose Ottawa, a small lumber town, as the site of the permanent capital of the "Province of Canada." The name Ottawa came from the Algonquian tribe Ottawa, or Odawa, meaning "traders."

The building's style reflects a strong Neo-Gothic Revival influence and resembles the design of the British Houses of Parliament completed seven years earlier. The Canadian buildings were ready in 1867 for the new government of the Dominion of Canada.
