The building on Rideau Street actually has a more interesting history than just armouries. having been built as a hospital, used as military offices for WRCNS and then more than armouries before becoming condos.
The links below give a bit more than I had known as an Ottawa resident. I hadn't known of the squatters or their eviction by the millitary. I wonder why not the police as it was after the wartime emergency in an abandoned building (i.e. DND didn't have a use for it). I also wasn't aware of the proposal to use the proposal as a municipally run brothel, an amenity still lacking in the National Capital.
When the building was converted to condos I remember thinking the prices were well out of my league. They still are, along with the monthly fees of up to $1000.
