Resourceful

The blending of old architecture and new infrastructure in this place works well. All of the infrastructure was installed in such a way that it can be removed with no impact on the building itself.

This is the 150th anniversary for the Library of Parliament. The main building at Centre Block is the only part of the original Centre Block still standing. On the night of the 1916 fire that destroyed the rest of the building, a fast acting clerk saved the library by shutting the heavy iron doors that protected it from the inferno.

One last shot. I was heading elsewhere from here.
