Parliament Hill Tour - West Block
|
The West Block, like the other Parliament Buildings, is an
impressive heritage building. Officially opened in 1866, the
West Block then contained the Postmaster General, Public Works
and Crown Lands departments. Two extensions were later added
to the original structure. The Mackenzie Wing and Tower was
completed in 1878 and the Laurier Tower and Link was completed
in 1906. The first renovations of the West Block took place
from 1961 to 1965.
