A front page article in the Ottawa Journal-October 5, 1977.

The American Embassy was built on land where Temporary Buildings 6 and 9 were located. Number 5 is now the $4 million dollar Dow's Lake parking lot that was donated to a hospital.

House of Commons Ottawa June 29, 1951 MP Agar Rodney Adamson (Progressive Conservative): "What are the grounds the Prime Minister has to keep up under this vote?"

R. Hon. Louis Stephen St-Laurent (Prime Minister; President of the Privy Council): "The Federal District Commission, which is under the privy council office, keeps up the grounds in the district belonging to the federal government. Even after Parliament Hill land in Majors Park was sold to a private corporation, the government of Canada had the power to control the architecture."
