Designed by renowned 19th-century architects Thomas Stent and Augustus Laver, the West Block, one of Canada's three iconic parliamentary buildings, showcases the grandeur of Victorian Gothic Revival architecture.

In 2019, a significant heritage restoration project began, focusing on preserving this national monument's intricate masonry and sculptures.

The West Block's Mackenzie Tower is prominently featured on the hologram of Canada's five-dollar bill.
