A 1980's document from the library on Laurier Avenue. Already sold or endangered: 1.) Earnscliffe 2.) Central Experimental Farm 3.) Ottawa Teachers College 4.) Rideau Canal. 5.) Chateau Laurier 6.) land beneath the Daly Building. 

 The Dominion Observatory campus may be flattened because it is interfering with the construction of a hospital. A video called "Ottawa prepares to hand over historic federal farmland to corporate developers" can be seen on Vimeo:

The Booth Barn and 50 more properties were slated for demolition in 1996. The Ontario government and heritage organizations mobilized to save the barns, greenhouses etc.
