Civic Hospital is primarily a residential neighbourhood; the Civic Hospital and a small number of office and commercial buildings line Carling Avenue along the area's southern edge. The 1960 Googie-inspired Civic Pharmacy Building sign at the corner of Carling and Holland Avenues is a local landmark. [5] The community is known for its many high-quality "Younghusband" homes, built by David Younghusband between 1939 and 1947. [6] Residents may belong to the Civic Hospital Neighbourhood Association, which organises events and activities to improve the community.

History

The area first opened to settlement in 1801, and was originally known as Bayswater. It was annexed by Ottawa in 1907. [7] Most of the homes at the time were along Loretta Street and Champagne Avenue, north of Beech Street. [8] It continued to be known as Bayswater after annexation, [9] but the name would fall out of use as the neighbourhood expanded. The Civic Hospital Homeowners Association was established in 1973 and the Civic Hospital Neighbourhood Association was established in 1982. [10]

Transportation

The main streets within the neighbourhood are Parkdale Avenue, Sherwood Drive, Kenilworth Drive and Holland Avenue. The neighbourhood is served by Carling Station on the O-Train Trillium Line, frequent bus service on Holland and Parkdale Avenues that connected to the Confederation Line at Tunney's Pasture Station in 2018, and crosstown routes on Carling Avenue. [11]
