While taking some photos of the existing Place de Ville "Podium" building, which is proposed to be
demolished for a new office tower at 300 Sparks (mid block of Sparks, Queen, Kent, Lyon), I also took photos of the Mariott. On my way back to my bike, I snapped a couple shots of 240 Sparks' renovated entrance on Kent (before moving on to Bank and Queen, where I snapped last Monday's post post). While I was trying to take a photo of the suspension device for 240 Sparks' new glass wall, I inadvertently got a good shot of the Mariott in the reflection.
The Podium building houses the former three-screen Capitol Square cinema, which replaced the celebrated
Capitol Theatre. You can read a bit more about the Podium building at
Spacing Ottawa, and in Alain Miguelez' book on the history of screens in Ottawa,
A Theatre Near You.
