Justice Building, Federal heritage building on Wellington Street, Ottawa, Canada

The Justice Building displays a nine-story structure with Nepean sandstone walls, steep copper roofs, and numerous dormers across its exterior elevation points.

The Department of Justice commissioned this building in 1935, and construction continued until 1938 under the direction of architect Thomas W. Fuller.

The sandstone exterior incorporates detailed wall carvings, bronze fittings, and tall windows that exemplify the principles of Canadian government architecture.

Located at 294 Wellington Street near Parliament Hill, the Justice Building contains offices for Members of Parliament and federal government departments.

The building features a central corridor layout with projecting wall planes and recessed sections, making each floor layout different from standard office designs.
