Embassy of Angola, Ottawa

Embassy of Angola, Ottawa, Diplomatic residence in Sandy Hill, Ottawa, Canada

Panet House, at Laurier Avenue and King Edward Avenue near the University of Ottawa, is a limestone Second Empire building with a mansard roof, dormers, decorative cornices and stone chimneys. It housed the Embassy of Angola from 1998 to 2018 and now houses the Embassy of Iraq.

Panet House was built in 1876–1877 for Colonel Charles-Eugène Panet, Deputy Minister of Militia and Defence, at Laurier Avenue and King Edward Avenue. In 1915 a third storey replaced its mansard roof and it became the 12-unit Elmscourt Apartments. The City of Ottawa expropriated it in 1969 for a proposed expressway that was abandoned, and in 1987 Andrex Holdings restored it, rebuilding the mansard roof. Angola bought the building in May 1998 and closed its embassy in 2018; it now houses the embassy of Iraq.

The building at Laurier Avenue and King Edward Avenue was the embassy of Angola from 1998 to 2018; it now houses the embassy of Iraq. The address is Panet House, built in the Second Empire style for Colonel Charles-Eugène Panet, and its name recalls him rather than any Angolan tradition.

The embassy closed in 2018, so no consular services are offered at Panet House; Angola's diplomatic business in Canada is no longer handled here. The building now houses the embassy of Iraq. Visitors can still walk the corner of Laurier Avenue and King Edward Avenue, next to the University of Ottawa, and view the exterior from the public sidewalk.

The building at Laurier Avenue and King Edward Avenue was expropriated by the City of Ottawa in 1969 for a proposed King Edward Expressway that was never built. In 1983 heritage groups, including Action Sandy Hill with a 2,000-signature petition, blocked a plan to demolish it for a fire station; the station went up across the street instead.
