Bell Block is a building in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. It is located on 40 Elgin Street between the Central Chambers and Scottish Ontario Chambers. It was built in 1867 to a design by William Hodgson (1827–1904).[1] It gets its name from the original owner, John George Bell.[2] Designated as a heritage property under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act,[3] it was honoured with an "Award of Excellence" from the City of Ottawa.
Occupants
[edit]After the building was constructed, it was used by John George Bell and his business partner Alexander Smith Woodburn for their job printing business (Bell & Woodburn). Bell, the owner of the building, retired in 1872, and the business was continued by Woodburn.[4] In 1885, Woodburn established the Ottawa Evening Journal, which was printed from this building until January 1914.[5][6]
