This stunning structure is one of two phases that was built between 1846 to 1851 and from 1870 to 1876. The five buildings that were constructed during the phases show the architectural changes through the years. You can see this in the use if limestone as well as the keystones above the doorways and the arches above the windows.

This particular building was associated with the Sisters of the Institute which was a boarding house for young working women until 1980. The order was founded by a French Dominican sister, Mere Thomas D’Aquin, who arrive from France to Ottawa in the second decade of the 20th century.

Up until 1995 the building had not been updated or renovated, which can be seen in parts of the units that have exposed brick walls and structural beams from the original interior design.
