Above: Alfred Bonenfant's likely route along Wellington Street would have taken him past the West, Centre and East Blocks of the Parliament Buildings. Construction on these buildings began in 1859 and was not finished until 1876. Below: The Supreme Court was one of the institutions that evidenced Ottawa's growing role as a centre of national government. The picture shows the second courthouse, built in 1889.
