Justice Annex, Government building in Ottawa, Canada
The Justice Annex was a government building in Ottawa situated between the Supreme Court of Canada and Parliament Hill. The structure featured plain architectural elements and served different administrative purposes throughout its existence.
The building was constructed between 1942 and 1943 to provide accommodation for Royal Canadian Mounted Police personnel during World War II. After the war it transitioned to house different government departments and agencies.
The building represented a significant period of Canadian administrative growth, later becoming the headquarters for the Department of Munitions and Supply.
The site is no longer accessible as the building was demolished in 2012. Visitors can learn about Ottawa's history at nearby museums and administrative buildings in the capital.
The building retained its status as the final remaining wartime administrative structure in Ottawa's government district before its removal. Historical photographs document its modest silhouette as a quiet reminder of Canada's administrative expansion during the war era.
