4' Image Changes For Ottawa HAROLD JACOBSON SPECIAL TO THE JEWISH NEWS As a former Ottawan who left the city in the 1950s, this writer returned for an extended stay in Ottawa recently and discovered that the Ottawa of old had been radically altered in architecture, • cultural ambiance and the fine arts. Part of this transformation was effected by the ambitious Greber Plan, which used federal moneys starting in the 1950s to initiate bold building plans to encompass the entire capital region. The National Gallery on Sus- sex St. has become one of the ›, world's magnificent conservato- ries of art. A highlight if its modern wing is a Chagall corner with two of the French painter's masterpieces including his famous Me and the Village. The War Museum is next to the National Gallery; the Muse- um of Civilization is across the bridge as well as the Photography Museum and the Mint. These `— institutions are within a half mile radius of Ottawa's War Memor- ial and parliament buildings. In the past, only the Parlia- mentary Library provided the kindof research-oriented materi- als of interest to scholars. Today, the National Library offers a large range of facilities including lectures, art exhibitions and special displays. The library also houses, in one of its rare book rooms, the Jacob Lawry Judaica book collection of more than 3,000 volumes from the beginning of the age of printing to the 19th centu- ry. The collection consists of rare Hebrew bibles, biblical commen- taries in diverse languages, Jewish legal treatises, editions of Maimonides' philosophical works and a selection of Karaite (a 9th- century Jewish sect) literature. The A.J. Friedman Department Store, which once dominated the city, was given to the Bay. The Byward Market with its open-air stalls for fruit and vegetable vendors is still in existence, but it has been thoroughly modernized. The market's administration building off Williams St. has a group of photographs on its exte- ,- nor walls showing what the market looked like from the beginning of this century to the 1960s — before it became gentrified. The famous Union Station has been transformed into a capacious government convention center. More recent changes have gut- ted the former Jewish and French-Canadian neighborhoods /-- on Murray, Friel and Chapel streets, leaving in their place low- rise housing and apartment buildings. ❑ We Sell Quality Brand Name Closeouts at "AMAZING" Prices!
