Daly Building, Historic department store site on Rideau Street, Ottawa, Canada
The six-story structure featured large plate-glass windows within a steel and stone framework at the intersection of Rideau Street and Sussex Drive.
Built in 1905 as Ottawa's first department store, the building served numerous retailers before becoming a federal government office space in 1921.
The structure represented the Chicago School architectural style with its three-part windows, cast iron pillars, and ornamental cornices.
The federal government purchased the building for one million dollars, transforming it from retail space to government offices that operated until 1978.
A fatal accident in 1964 led to the removal of the cornice after a stone fragment fell and struck a pedestrian on the street below.
