Ottawa Teachers' College
The Ottawa Teachers' College, or Normal School, designed by the architect W. R. Strickland and built in 1875 by J. Forin, was the second institution of its type to be established in Ontario. The rear wing was added in 1879 to house a model school. The College continued to train teachers for Ontario until 1974. While the general massing of forms, with central and side pavilions, follows the 19th century academic tradition, the use of disparate architectural details including the pointed Gothic window, semi-circular Italianate windows, Romanesque columns and Second Empire roof, reflects the spirit of eclecticism.
