East and West Memorial Buildings
The twin memorial buildings commemorate Canadians who served in the First World War. Their restrained stone facades frame Lyon Street near the western end of the federal precinct.
Walk along Lyon Street to compare the matching facades and the deliberate symmetry of this commemorative pair. The pairing tells a commemorative story through symmetry rather than a large exhibition; a short walk along the frontage is enough to compare the two.
What to look for
The two memorial facades form a deliberate pair along Lyon Street.
Useful to know
Walk the Lyon Street frontage to compare both memorial facades in one view.
