Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

The Supreme Court of Canada was originally sat in the Railway Committee Room inside the Parliament Buildings from 1876 to 1881. Then the court moves to a small two-story building on Bank Street which no longer exist in 1882. In 1939, the construction of the new Supreme Court building, which the one we see today, started with the cornerstone laid by Queen Elizabeth.
Supreme Court of Canada located on 301 Wellington street above the Ottawa River in downtown Ottawa. It was designed by Ernest Cormier, and the building is renowned for its Art Deco decorative details. Harold Kalman describes the 1939-46 building in his History of Canadian Architecture as a “pristine and dignified example of Modern Classicism” in the best of the tradition practiced by the important Montreal architect. Kalman also notes that Cormier’s originally thought a flat roof was appropriate to this palace of justice, but Mackenzie King’s government required it follow the Chateau-style roof with steep copper slopes and dormers to unify with other government buildings in the capital. The design of the building shows the duality of the justice system in Canada. On the one hand, the design of the building expresses the solemnity, authority, even cold surface of the justice system. On the other hand, it shows the humanistic care to create a space to serve the public by using modern technology and disability access, and carefully arranged space for judges and staffs.
