Wellington Building, Government building near Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Canada
The Wellington Building displays classical Beaux-Arts architecture with three-storey Corinthian columns, marble floors, and coffered beam ceilings at 180 Wellington Street.
The structure, completed in 1927 as Metropolitan Life Insurance headquarters, became federal property in 1973 and received heritage status recognition in 1986.
The entrance lobby features a ceiling mosaic by Barry Faulkner containing thousands of colored ceramic tiles representing themes of health and prosperity.
The building contains offices for 70 Members of Parliament, ten committee rooms, and a library following its extensive renovation completed in 2016.
The original structure included a rooftop tennis court for Metropolitan Life Insurance Company employees during its early years of operation.
