The Central Chambers Building

Central Chambers Building c. 1893 Library and Archives Canada PA-027288

This is the corner of Elgin and Queen Streets.  The Central Chambers building was built in 1890-91.  It is built in the Queen Anne Revival style.  The architect was John James Browne,  and originally housed the offices of the Canadian Atlantic Railway and the Ottawa and Gatineau Valley Railway.  The roads at this time were still dirt.  The building across the street was taken down to create Confederation Square where the War Memorial now stands.


Here is the same view of the Chambers Building in 2010.  It is amazing to see the difference in the construction in the city in the last 117 years.  It was designated a National Historic Site in 1984 and now houses the NCC headquarters.

  1. If you look at the current scenario in regard to the grants for small business expansion, the federal government actually offers no direct grants. There are, however, some programs by the government, through which grants for research and development activities that a small business might carry out are provided by the SBA. Then there are indirect grants in the form of small business loan guarantees as well as subsidized loans, wherein you get loans at reduced rate of interest from the bank as the government pays some part of your loan. Or if you default on your loan payment, the government pays the bank on your behalf. As you can see, there are opportunities galore for small business funding and grants through Mr Pedro and his funding company. They offer a loan at 2% rate which is very affordable. As a start-up business owner, you just have to make an effort to find the one that is most suitable for your business goals.
    Contact Mr Pedro on pedroloanss@gmail.com / WhatsApp text: +1 863 231 0632 for loans.
    All the best!
