Central Chambers was built between 1890 and 1893 and designed by John James Browne of Montreal, an example of Queen Anne Revival commercial architecture. Formerly serving as an office for the Canadian Atlantic Railway, it now houses the National Capital Commission

It's not the fanciest ever but it's a building I walk by often and I always stop to look at the brickwork. The amount of detail that went into these town houses is just remarkable. Sorry for the low quality images, they're the only ones I could find. (Source)
