Old World Ottawa: 200+ Unique Images of Canada’s Capital, Parliament, Rideau Canal, Vaults, Lumber

Hello,
Today we will look at over 200 unique Old World images of Ottawa.
Ottawa, according to the current narrative, was first settled by European settlers in 1800. In roughly 1826, following the commencement of construction on the oldest continually operating canal in North America (which is still going strong), the area was named “Bytown”.
The area was renamed “Ottawa” in the 1850’s, the name chosen from the river on which the small town sat. A small lumber boom occurred shortly afterwards.
In 1857, Queen Victoria picked Ottawa as the new capital for Canada (for a variety of reasons which we will discuss in the video), and construction began on the immense buildings all around the city, including the Parliament Building.
Today we will look at over 200 photographs of Ottawa which will help illustrate and expand on the current narrative, while hopefully sparking your ideas and curiosity over the area at the time (1860’s-1930’s).
Thanks for being here. I’d love to hear your thoughts and comments about Old World Ottawa down below!

I lived in Ottawa 1950-57 & remember the streetcars running out to Britannia Beach. The fare was 7 cents for adults.. I miss the Old Union Station next to the Chateau Laurier. Took 'The Canadian' dome train from there to Vancouver in 1964. Thanks for video.

[@PatriceBoivin]

When I was really young the train station was still there, just before they shut it down. There was a gogo club across the street, where the Rideau Centre is now. A friend of mine and I watched them blast the rock to make the foundations of the Rideau Centre, we could climb to the top of the multi-level parking lot and watch them from up there. I wish Ottawa had followed its city plan instead of getting rid of it.

[@VinsPol247]

Forget the pyramids...How did they build these gigantic castle looking libraries? They were built less than two century's ago. But no one can build like that in modern times. The vast amount of photographic proof that these miracle construction existed, tells me that it was a well known easy building technique known to many people at that time. Amazing!

[@melissaabbey]

[@philpaine3068]

@@paulmidd5523 When the streets were full of horses, pavement made little difference --- the streets would fill up with mud and horse dung, even if there were cobblestones underneath. Cities spent fortunes shovelling up and disposing of horse poop. Paving with cobblestones or macadam was extremely expensive, and confined to wealthy parts of cities. City streets were cleaned up when the horses disappeared. The arrival of cheap automobiles and asphalt pavement in the 1920s changed everything.

Hey, great video! I've lived in Ottawa all my life (50 years) and have become quite knowledgeable about Ottawa's history. I need to correct you on the existence of the fort before the Parliament buildings were built. There was plans drawn up for a fort on the hill but it was never built. There was a barracks for the soldiers who helped in the building of the canal, as well as a small field hospital.

[@user-wx7uk1oc6c]

And it was named Barrack Hill

[@grilledsteeze]

The site is home to an ancient star fort. There are thousands all over earth….you can see them on Google Earth.

[@Richard-sl8xj]

Does no one find it impossible to build a canal 126 miles long in the year 1825 to 1832, when the steam shovel had yet to be invented till 1835, which meant it was dug by hand, and this was done in just 7 years? The Winnipeg floodway is 26 miles long and was completed in 6 years from 1962 to 1968 and with the use of modern equipment and was considered the largest earth moving project since the Panama Canal. Makes as much sense as the Erie Canal which was built in 1817 to 1825, is 363 miles long and also was dug by hand with no power tools or steam shovels , as again they were not invented. Something stinks in Denmark for sure.

[@derekrwatson346]

It always amazes me what a few people with copper chisels and a little knowhow can get done. But I'm sure they were exhausted after finishing all that so quickly. No wonder they just decided to use mud for all the streets. Big time saver.

I’ve been to the Parliament Building in both Ottawa AND London. This was years before I became awakened yet I remember being in absolute awe of the architecture and the complexities of having it actually built was mind boggling to me. Now it’s making sense why I was so in awe of them way back then. My soul knew there was something beyond man who could have created and built such out of place buildings of that size and intricacies. I just want to know our true history and timeline. 😢

[@scotti.6433]

The original Centre Block commenced construction only about three years after the Houses of Parliament in London were openned, and the Peace Tower of the newer building was finished in 1927 for Canada`s 160th anniversary celebrations, and I knew one of the men who worked on it as a young Scottish Canadian stonemason.

[@NUMENOREAN91]

There is no crazy tartarian mud flood nonsense conspiracy to how these buildings were constructed. Old world stuff was better because their wasn't all the safety regulations for workers. No corporations producing cheap garbage yet. Economic pressures of today disallow the time and money needed to build such beautiful intricut structures. Machine and industry made hand tool craftsmen disappear. Tradesmen today can't compare to those of the past. A very long list of factors could be made beyond what I mentioned.

The exterior is stone, no steel. interiors are all carved wood, no steel. It’s no mystery. I live in Ottawa and my ancestors going back before Ottawa was our Capital. Before the City was built up, all the buildings and houses were made of wood. Ottawa was a lumber town. There were barracks of sorts made for the men and families who worked on the parliament buildings all made of wood. It was a small town then. Unfortunately fires were common when every building is made of wood. The round library was saved, but centre block was destroyed and rebuilt.

The building at 17:08 is the _old_ post-office. It was demolished starting in 1937 to clear what is now Confederation Square for the National War Memorial. The old post- office (the one in the video) was against the Rideau canal (for mail transit via boat) and at 17:12 you can actually see the lip of the canal and the tunnel to the locks. All of this would have been demolished including the "vaults" as you can see on the Wikipedia page for "Confederation Square. Look at the August 31, 1938 photo.

Jarid, I enjoy your presentations. They are well paced and you give good commentary and ask good questions without too much speculation as to the why and how of it all. Your interest seems to be architecturally centered, however I would like to suggest an area of inquiry that I have not seen anyone cover. This is the accounting of the development of musical instruments. To me there is no accounting for the sophistication of musical instruments. They tell us that the mechanical complexity of devices like pipe organs, piano, saxophone, trombone, etc were created by the same downtrodden ill equipped people that they say built all the other impossible architectural, sculpture and paintings of antiquity. And consider some of the music allegedly produced by individuals. How is it that we have alleged geniuses of the past like Mozart and Beethoven but nothing since. Yes we have clever and original songs but know one alive or in memory has produced anything like what Beethoven did. Do we really think one man could create this kind of complicated art? More likely they were created by the same race of advanced beings that built the advanced architecture.

Also wanted to add that the fire of 1916 was contained to just the center block of the Parliament buildings. The photographs of the Library by itself were after the fire and the old center block were torn down to remake the new center block and Peace Tower. The original tower did not have the eye of Horus on it. Lastly, the vaults under the old post office were just vaults. No tunnels under there. There was a tunnel from Union Station that went under a road to the Chateau Laurier.

It strikes me that an important detail for differentiating between old world/contemporary construction may be the windows.

To all the people saying there was never a star fort are wrong, it shows up on older illustrations as a small four-cornered structure on the western flank of what became known as Barrack Hill. And the choice of Ottawa as the capital was not just because it had a fort there as the author has said, more specifically, the choice was decided upon because it was inland from vulnerable attack by the Americans unlike the cities of Toronto, Montreal, and Kingston, and the Rideau Canal was built as a military canal for this purpose since it connected with Kingston on the south and Montreal on the east through the Ottawa River and Grenville Canal downstream.

I'll add that your video about the city in which I live, is the best I've seen and very very "interesting". I watched/listened to several of your productions today. If I can help in anyway with Ottawa please let me know. Take care.

Love my cityscape.

[@HisHigherness8472]

Ex building is called the cattle castle. Still there to this day!

[@scotti.6433]

Actually, it`s called the Aberdeen Pavilion, Cattle Castle is only a nickname.

[@HisHigherness8472]

@@scotti.6433 I believe Aberdeen is correct. Saved for heritage site due to massive wood beam architecture?

[@Muddyorphan1812]

Thats one of those star fort cities from on my time line the 1000 years

The Rideau Canal, also known unofficially as the Rideau Waterway, It is 202 kilometres long. The canal was opened in 1832 as a precaution in case of war with the United States. This did not happen the way we are told it happened.

[@BerigVintrange]

Thanks for mentioning that, I took a history course at Carleton and that's what we were taught about the canal, a "curtain" of protection against the Americans.

the library was most likely a tool for sound . the flying buttresses are there to reinforce when resonance occurs. those walls must be round or it wouldn't work. very well could receive energy from above and or had a pipe organ once. great video man. good intuition.

Well you are wrong on all counts but you have a great imagination !

At 16:09 the building was the train station and is now a conference centre. Its really beautiful inside. Ive lived in Ottawa since i was born and a lot of the old buildings are still there

[@tomek6132]

If only they made it an O-Train station!

[@bevpotter9938]

It now houses the Senate while they renovate the Centre Block on Parliament Hill.

[@patriciaramirez9295]

Have you been to Ottawa? It has so many twists and turns. It feels like your transported back in time. Did not hear you comment on the fire that engulfed parliament and how the library was saved by closing the heavy metal doors.

[@HisHigherness8472]

Before there were the parliament bldgs. There was the Crowley farmhouse. It's Red roof can be found in the earliest photos. (Related to Alister Crowley) Ps. WOW !!! That all seeing eye on the original Tower. Just saw that on my second watching. 👍

Jarid I did about 20 videos on Ottawa if you want to follow up. I was born here and I’ve searched all the archives tracing the photos.
