Historic Sites in the Glebe

I am doing a project for my geography course where I want to map the historic/note-worthy sites in the Glebe. I was wondering if there existed a list of such sites that I could have access to, so that I can go to each site and map it using GPS coordinates. I am looking for about a couple dozen "sites", and by sites I mean buildings, parks, or areas that used to be something. Any information would be useful.

This is a great project! I hope that you'll share it with us when you've finished. I do not know of any existing list of historic sites in the Glebe, although it's a fine idea. There are 13 buildings with Heritage Designation in the Glebe, but that is not quite the same thing.

Anyway, I'll take a crack at this, and welcome any other readers to send in their own nominations. Here are some suggestions of what I personally would consider historic, in no particular order.

1.) Mutchmor Public School, 185 Fifth Avenue - first school in the Glebe (1895)

2.) Glebe Collegiate, 212 Glebe Avenue, first expansion of the Ottawa Collegiate Institute system for secondary schooling (1922) and first site of Carleton College evening classes in 1942 (see below)

3.) Lansdowne Park, where several Canadian Prime Ministers were chosen, troops were marshalled for both World Wars, and Charles Lindbergh landed an airplane in 1927.

4.) The Quaker Meeting House at 91 Fourth Avenue - built as Welcome Zion Congregationalist Church in 1896 and oldest place of worship in the Glebe.

5.) The north-west corner of Bank and Second where the Avalon Theatre once stood, and where the first 'talkie' film in Ottawa was shown in 1928

6.) The south-west corner of Lyon and First - former Ottawa Ladies College, first permanent home (1946) of Carleton College, later Carleton University.

7.) 954 Bank Street (Abottsford House) built by Alexander Mutchmor in 1872, oldest home in the Glebe still standing.

8.) Corner of Wilton Crescent and Bank Street - southern turning circle of the Bank Street Streetcar Line, built in 1891, which opened the Glebe as a 'streetcar suburb of Ottawa)

9.) 911 Bank Street (corner of Clarey) first site of McKeen Grocery (1911) and start of a 93 year dynasty of McKeens who continue as purveyors of fine foods to the Glebe - currently housed in the Loeb Glebe

10.) 586 Queen Elizabeth Drive, the Glebe home for many years of Pulitzer Prize winning author Carol Shields.
