The Former Archives Building is a substantial stone building, designed in the federal Tudor Gothic style. The building is set back from Sussex Drive, a street that is also the home of several other major federal institutions in Ottawa. The Former Archives Building, which faces East, consists of an original, seven-bay three-storey block with a central entrance built between 1904 to 1906, and, facing North, a larger three-storey addition at right angles to it built between 1924-25. The "now" photo was taken on 24 November 2011.
