The destruction of Maple Drive on the Experimental Farm.

The DARA Tennis Club in Ottawa Before.

 
After. A November 26, 2024 photo from CTV News. The article is called "Land near Dow's Lake being cleared in advance of  new Civic Campus construction." 'The main hospital will be built between Maple and Prince of Wales Drives."

 "On this site we have at least 24 buildings, including Buildings 1 to 9, the Natural Resources Campus..Extensive demolition or relocation of buildings is required to allow for the new build to proceed." (From: "The New Civic Campus. A 21st Century Hospital in the Heart of Canada's Capital." April 2016, page 10/76.)
The Old Hedge Collection was located near the DARA Tennis Club, and it does not exist anymore.


The Dominion Observatory Campus on Carling in 1966. My classmates and I visited the site in 1965 and we all looked through the telescope. The buildings are unprotected.
