Second Supreme Court of Canada Building, Federal judicial building at Wellington Street, Ottawa, Canada
The granite structure features a seven-bay central core with projecting pavilions and copper roofs overlooking the Ottawa River from a high bluff.
The building, completed in 1940, replaced earlier Supreme Court locations including committee rooms on Parliament Hill and a Bank Street structure.
Two statues representing Truth and Justice by sculptor Walter S. Allward stand at the entrance steps, symbolizing the principles of Canadian law.
The Main Courtroom contains modern audio-visual equipment and accessibility features while maintaining its Australian Blackwood and zebrawood panels.
The Grand Entrance Hall spans 32 meters by 17 meters, featuring walls of rubané marble and displays busts of former Chief Justices.
