This portion of the Abbey Ruins is taken from the Batson House, which had stood in the Lowertown portion of Ottawa and had once been owned by a former premier of Quebec. King brought it here as a symbol of his appreciation of French-Canadian support.
This is also a portion of the Batson House, completing the Abbey Ruins in a dramatic, sentimental way.
It was time to head back. I took one last look back at the Abbey Ruins. Until next time.














Fascinating series, William. And the beautiful blue 💙 sky is gorgeous.
