This exhibit will explore the historical, social and architectural evolution of 978-992 Wellington St. W, once called Jones’ Block, a mixed-used building right at the connection point on Wellington St. and Somerset St. Built around the turn-of-the-century in an inspired Edwardian Classical style, this structure has served as both home and workplace for many generations of Ottawa residents, particularly those in the Hintonburg-Mechanicsville area. While it is not designated as a heritage property, its history is integrated into the making of the city and reflects the changing nature of local businesses, industries, and communities.
