Festival of Empire in 1911 claimed to have built a replica Ottawa Parliament building (is that all?) next to the crystal palace - problem is this building was already there and is visible from the air in all old pictures of the Sydenham crystal palace. Busted!
"Ottawa, Ontario was the site of two major fires: the Great Fire of 1900 and the Great Fire of 1870."
No pictures of the Ottawa Great Fire so here's one of Toronto's from 1904.
Ottawa Parliament Hill
"Centre Block under construction in 1863"
