Old City Registry Office, 70 Nicholas Street, Ottawa (2022)

The Old City Registry Office is a brick, single-story building located in what is now Byward Market. In the 19th century, it was a part of a cluster of buildings that formed the judicial district of Ottawa. All records involving buildings or land ownership of the City of Ottawa were kept in the registry. Since 1917, the building was used as a museum by different organizations. The Registry is now owned and operated by the owners of CF Rideau Centre. Plans to move the City Registry Office have been conceptualized to make room for the expansion of the Rideau Centre.
