East and West Memorial Buildings, Art Deco federal memorial buildings on Wellington Street, Ottawa, Canada.
The East and West Memorial Buildings feature limestone walls, copper roofs, and tall narrow piers along Wellington Street in downtown Ottawa.
The buildings, constructed between 1949 and 1962, were established to honor Canadian service members who died during World War II.
The Memorial Arch connecting both buildings displays a marble relief sculpture titled The Canadian Phalanx, weighing three and a half tonnes.
The East Memorial Building contains the Department of Justice offices, while the West Memorial Building remains vacant pending renovations.
The granite frame of the relief sculpture under the Memorial Arch reflects design elements from the Canadian Memorial at Vimy Ridge.
